We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of International Forum of Psychoanalysis (IFP). When I think of these rewarding 30 years, the early 1990s come to life. At that time, I shared an office with Jan Stensson. I remember our daily meetings. One of the subjects of our dialogue was the need for an international English-speaking journal, reflecting the spirit of the IFPS, a spirit of freedom and unorthodoxy. However, the plans for a new journal encountered opposition both within the IFPS and within our own group, the Swedish Association for Holistic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. A committee was assigned, with members from different societies to investigate the possibilities of an IFPS journal. Most members of the committee voted against a journal, believing that many journals in their languages, English and German, already existed. Jochen Kemper from Brazil and Jan Stensson from Sweden voted for a new journal. In 1991, the Swedish Association for Holistic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis hosted the IFPS scientific conference in Stockholm. Despite the opposition, the IFPS decided to start a new journal: the International Forum of Psychoanalysis. This was made possible because Jan Stensson had found a publishing company in Sweden that was willing to take the risk of publishing a new journal. Looking back, Jan Stensson (2014) wrote:

Abstract Today it is still necessary and useful to deal with the empirical foundations and cultural dimensions of a discipline such as psychoanalysis that has played a vital role in shaping the contemporary world, on both sociocultural and clinical levels. This study aimed to describe and summarize the perspectives of experienced psychoanalysts on important aspects of psychoanalysis today. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 62 psychoanalysts. The interview data were processed using a theory-informed thematic analysis. There were 12 macro-themes: important aspects of psychoanalysis, important authors in psychoanalysis today, “contemporary psychoanalysis,” the proliferation of psychoanalytic “schools,” psychoanalytic identity and psychotherapy, psychoanalytic training, the Oedipus complex, dreams, the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and outcome and process research, the relationship between psychoanalysis and research in the neurosciences, empirically validated psychoanalytic concepts, and the marginalization of psychoanalysis. Our study revealed the image of a pluralistic psychoanalysis that the participants interviewed show they have, with various schools/definitions/sources, where Freud and the classical model are contested by numerous other approaches.

Thirty years of the International Forum of Psychoanalysis means 30 years of psychoanalytic texts from many authors, well-known colleagues as well as younger colleagues who have been encouraged by their institutes or by the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) fora to publish their ideas. The journal has always offered a broad view from and into the psychoanalytic world. History, theory, and clinical practice have all been represented with highstandard papers. Promoting the dialogue between countries and continents has been part of the journal’s policy, as has promoting the dialogue between authors belonging to IFPS member institutes and those who are active in the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) or not represented internationally. That well-known IPA psychoanalysts like Helmut Thomä and Horst Kächele have contributed to the journal has been a highlight in the usually only scarcely existing dialogue between the two international psychoanalytic organizations. Topics and lectures presented at international fora have been presented, revealing the broad spectrum and topics of the IFPS societies – “classical” psychoanalysis, object relations theory, Lacanian psychoanalysis, self psychology, and interpersonal psychoanalysis, to name just a few. The fora and the journal have always been a bridge between Anglo-American, Latin American, and European approaches. In addition, contributions from other psychoanalysis-related conferences such as the 2007 Jubilee Symposium of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy (IAFP) have been included in the journal (2009). Psychoanalytic work in particular continents and countries has been presented (for example, Germany in 2018, Italy in 1994, and Switzerland in 2014), offering the reader a view of different styles and cultures. The Swiss Institute of Psychoanalysis Zürich-Kreuzlingen (IfP) was admitted into the IFPS in 1998, and so far the journal has published 11 papers written by members of the IfP. Core concepts of the IfP, such as the dialogue between philosophy and psychoanalysis, and psychoanalysis in institutions, have been published, as well as the obituary of our founder and long-time president Norman Elrod. Our concepts, as well as the life and work of Ludwig Binswanger, the long-timedirector ofBellevueSanatorium inKreuzlingen, Switzerland and an important psychoanalyst, philosopher, psychiatrist, and friend of Sigmund Freud, have beenmade familiar to the English-speaking readership through the journal. The philosophical papers have also been a bridge between the existential analysis movements in Switzerland and Brazil, there have been contributions about psychoanalysis in institutions to the international discussions about different settings for psychoanalysis, and the political contributions have shown that psychoanalysis is not restricted to clinical practice.

Abstract In this article the history and process of the founding of the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) will be addressed. After World War II, the IFPS was the first international association of psychoanalysts established outside the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). Particular to the IFPS was the inclusion of psychoanalytic institutes and groups that were not members of the IPA; a liberal and open approach to new psychoanalytic methods and developments; and the waiver of imposed regulation – within a certain framework – on the terms of psychoanalytic training. In the received history of the psychoanalytic movement, non-IPA psychoanalysts have been neglected. This article intends to shed light on the organization of those so-called psychoanalytic dissidents, who identified as psychoanalysts, but were deemed by the IPA establishment “only” psychotherapists. The history of the IFPS provides material for the analysis of this important but difficult controversy, still markedly perceptible within the psychoanalytic community today.

Abstract After publishing a psychoanalytic inquiry on Enescu’s and Stravinsky’s Oedipal operas, it seemed worth offering comments about other artistic depictions based on Oedipus’ myth. Josep Soler’s and Xiao-song’s versions were studied in relation to their orientalist sources. Soler’s opera shed further light on Oedipus’ paranoid crisis in his duet with the blind seer. Seneca, Soler’s main inspiration, also influenced Méreaux’s Oedipal opera, which portrays the phantom of Laius requiring vengeance for his murder, a situation similar to the one Freud and Jones commented on in their analysis of Hamlet. Another ghost was found in Pierre Bartholomée’s Œdipe sur la route, which depicts a return of Oedipus’ own complex and its psychopathological comorbidities even after he chastised himself. Psychopathological symptoms were also observed in Sacchini’s version, probably the most famous of all Oedipal operas in its century. Furthermore, the focus now is not only on Oedipal operas, but also on a version of the Jocasta debate. Also attended to in this article are other operas and artistic representations that do not deal directly with the Oedipus myth. A list of 30 Oedipal operas with musical examples offers a fruitful space for debates on psychopathological issues related to the most important complex in psychoanalysis.
在发表了对埃内斯库和斯特拉文斯基的俄狄浦斯歌剧的精神分析研究之后，似乎有必要对其他基于俄狄浦斯神话的艺术描述进行评论。索勒和宋晓松的版本与他们的东方学来源有关。索勒的歌剧进一步揭示了俄狄浦斯与盲先知二重唱时的偏执危机。塞内卡是索勒的主要灵感来源，他也影响了姆姆萨雷奥的俄狄浦斯歌剧，歌剧描绘了拉伊乌斯的幽灵为被谋杀而要求复仇，这种情况与弗洛伊德和琼斯在分析哈姆雷特时所评论的情况类似。另一个鬼魂出现在皮埃尔·巴托洛姆萨梅的Œdipe sur la route中，它描绘了俄狄浦斯自己的情结和精神病理合并症的回归，甚至在他惩罚了自己之后。在萨奇尼的版本中也观察到精神病理症状，这可能是那个世纪最著名的俄狄浦斯歌剧。此外，现在的重点不仅是俄狄浦斯歌剧，而且是约卡斯塔辩论的一个版本。本文还讨论了与俄狄浦斯神话没有直接关系的其他歌剧和艺术表现形式。一份包含30部俄狄浦斯歌剧和音乐例子的清单，提供了一个富有成效的空间，用于讨论与精神分析中最重要的复杂性相关的精神病理学问题。

Abstract The aim of this paper is to give the reader an overview of several theoretical, empirical, and clinical features of survivor guilt, and to integrate recent contributions of psychodynamic theory and, in particular, of control-mastery theory into the understanding of the concept alongside the latest findings in social psychology about it. After introducing the concept of survivor guilt and its origins in clinical observations on the consequences of having survived severe traumas (e.g., internment in concentration camps), we will discuss the findings in social psychology on the concept of survivor guilt in everyday social interactions, which is based on a conception that does not connect it strictly to severe traumas. We will then focus our attention on clinical observations and empirical research studies about survivor guilt, discussing the hypotheses developed by several control-mastery theorists about its role in psychopathology. Finally, we will illustrate some manifestations of survivor guilt with a brief clinical vignette.

Abstract This paper focuses on how sometimes it is possible to encounter nodal concepts that seem to lead to a perceptible consistency of the intertwining of some “fil rouge” in the theories and sensibilities of psychoanalysts who are otherwise very different from each other. Ninety years after the last conferences held by Ferenczi in America, it emerges that Ferenczi remains a point of reference for numerous authors and continues to influence many of the theories proposed. In particular, the concept of agency, as theorized by Jonathan Slavin, would seem capable of organizing a series of observations in analytic practice within a coherent theoretical framework, while remaining unsaturated enough to allow further reflections and connections with the theories of other scholars, among which that of Edgar Levenson appears significant. Levenson and Slavin, in the wake of Ferenczi, highlight how the analyst must avoid both the risk of an aseptic neutrality and the risk of collusion with their own narcissistic desire at the expense of the desire of others, since the realization of these risks would hinder the patient from becoming an agent of themself.
