In 1988, the APP hosted a conference on psychoanalytic psychotherapy (PP) in the public sector in other European countries. This taught us that Britain had much to learn from other countries as well as much to share. The APP realised the need for a European Federation of PP in the public sector (EFPP) to represent and facilitate the field. The APP therefore joined with representatives from the Association of Child Psychotherapy and the Institute of Group Analysis and in 1991 formally created such an organisation by linking with similar representatives from European Union countries. This article takes an overview of PP in European countries, comparing the situation now in 2022 with the time of the founding of the EFPP in 1991. Despite significant setbacks in some countries, the indications are that PP has made very significant process in most countries in terms of the number of training organisations and practitioners in all four EFPP sections. The impact on public mental health provision is impressive in some countries but remains limited if not very limited in many. The article reviews some of the factors that have led to progress and setbacks, pinpointing ‘lessons’ and warning signs.

We present what the current state of affairs in Israel concerning psychoanalytic psychotherapy. First, we present a succinct historical account of the unfolding of the psychoanalytic perspective (including psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy) in Israel, with a particular focus on its contentious relationship with other psychotherapy schools of thought. We then locate a two-decade-long developmental process, culminating with the hegemony of the psychoanalytic school within Israeli psychiatry, psychology and psychotherapy, leading to strife and a political fight within the psychology profession to diffuse this hegemony. Somewhat paradoxically, that this fight succeeded eventually has led to the growth of Israeli psychoanalysis. The psychoanalytic school – and psychoanalytic psychotherapy – are now more accessible to applied psychology disciplines beyond clinical psychology (i.e., applied-developmental, educational, rehabilitative, and medical psychology), and psychoanalytic thought informs both the theory and practice of other, non-psychoanalytic schools of psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy/CBT). Psychoanalytic training programs are flourishing, and three research universities currently offer a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in psychoanalytic theory. Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychology also impact the political activism. Future concerns are also discussed, primarily the shrinking (but still very vibrant) representation of psychoanalytic psychotherapy within departments of psychology at research universities in Israel.

This paper offers a 25-year scoping review of psychoanalytic journal articles on premature birth from 1997 to 2021. Given the prevalence of prematurity and its impact on infant development and parenting, this is an area which requires engagement and research. 28 papers were found in psychoanalytic journals. This review summarizes the extent, range and nature of this research, identifying trends in theorizing about premature infancy and gaps in the literature. The overall lack of articles on the topic of prematurity is highlighted and possible reasons for this are suggested. These include the practical challenges as well as the intensity of emotional pain inherent in working with prematurity. The findings highlight the trauma experienced by both premature infants and their parents. Prematurity may also place the parent-infant relationship at risk. The therapeutic imperative of interacting with the infant as a person is strongly emphasised. Research suggests working in the NICU is emotionally evocative. However, a case is made for the critical role that psychoanalytic practitioners can play in supporting those impacted by premature infancy. The need for exposure to this topic is highlighted. Gaps in the literature appear in relation to sibling experience, experiences of fathers of premature infants, and the intersubjective processes occurring between premature infants and their parents.

whilst the horizontal axis shows how sense can be made of the beta unprocessed elements, with any consequent failure to do so resulting in disturbing sensory data being experienced by the patient in crisis. The concept of ‘O’, as outlined by Bion, is constantly returned to throughout this book, in particular through dream material. For Bion ‘O’ represented the aim of psychoanalysis and was about seeking the truth, rather than trying to make a patient better. The concept of ‘O’ continues to be debated and valued by many, as well as being open to further interpretation and understanding. For some British analysts, however, it can be seen as overly esoteric, and at times confusing in its many different renderings. As I understand it, the intention, according to Bion, is to be aiming for “transformations in ‘O’ within the analyst”; this involves the ‘indivisibility of the transference-counter transference in the analyst’s reverie’, that is the analyst has to feel the actual agony and anguish expressed by the patient. Part II of the book offers chapters on clinical presentations and thinking on issues of abandonment, exclusion, rage and shame, jealousy, betrayals, surprise, contempt, and sadness. Attention is paid in great detail, theoretically and with live cases, to all these issues, which one could say inevitably dominate any therapeutic practice. Chapter 12 ‘Betrayals. Psychoanalytic Pathways in the works of James Joyce’ by Fulvio Mazzacane, however, focusses entirely on Joyce’s literary work, which he maintains is concerned with the theme of betrayal in the most important relationships, whether personal or in terms of country of origin. This is a rich addition to this collection, and though not without description of pain and distress, it does bring some light relief as fiction often can to the reader. In conclusion, what is striking throughout this book is the openness and honest self-awareness that each analyst brings to their therapeutic engagement, on occasions referencing what they acknowledge as their own shortcomings. Nicoli Luca, in Chapter 14, ‘Contempt’, notes that on one occasion he effectively forgot to arrive in time at his consulting room to meet with a new oncea-week patient. He acknowledges his own unwitting disregard of the patient, that is his contempt, as this was not a ‘proper’, high frequency analysis. Antonino Ferro is an original thinker who believes psychoanalysis must always be open to new developments and theories, but at the same time pays 280 Book Review

A theoretical paper in which the theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust are applied to thinking about the relationship between social systems and individual subjective experiences, and how this relationship may be shaped by developmental history, such as attachment experiences, exposure to childhood adversity, and the experience of being mentalized. We suggest that the experience of being mentalized and openness to epistemic trust may be the mechanism by which individual experiences of psychic distress, perception of self-agency and perceptions of others, are both influenced by and shape wider social phenomena and social change. We consider the impact of social inequalities and the breakdown of political legitimacy on mentalizing, epistemic trust and psychopathology, and argue that optimal individual outcomes cannot always be achieved without adaptation of the wider social environment.
