About the IJP

“We aim to develop the reach of psychoanalysis and of the International Journal, which holds the history of psychoanalysis and its theoretical developments, as well as to present current important developments in the field.”

The International Journal of Psychoanalysis was founded by Ernest Jones with the collaboration of Sigmund Freud in 1920.

It also incorporates the International Review of Psycho-Analysis, founded in 1974 by Joseph Sandler. For the last 99 years the IJP has enjoyed its role as the main international vehicle for communication about psychoanalysis, enjoying a wide international readership from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, North America and Latin America. Past Editors of The International Journal of Psychoanalysis have included Ernest Jones, James Strachey, Joseph Sandler, and David Tuckett.

The International Journal of Psychoanalysis is a fully peer reviewed journal published six times a year. The IJP is the main international vehicle for communication about psychoanalysis, with global reach and readership.

IJP is the only psychoanalytic journal regularly publishing extensive contributions by authors throughout the world – facilitated by a system of international editorial boards and the policy of allowing submission and review in all main European languages, followed by translation of accepted papers at the Journal’s expense.

Its content includes fully peer-reviewed papers on Psychoanalytic Theory and Technique, Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis, Interdisciplinary papers, Clinical Communications, Research, The Analyst at Work, Letters, History of Psychoanalysis, Education, Psychoanalytic Controversies, Book Reviews and Film Essays.
