Commentaries (Psychoanalytic Inquiry, 1.2)

First published in 1994. This is Volume 1, No 2 of the Psychoanalytic Inquiry which focuses on commentaries on John Gedo's 'Beyond Interpretation', We see Beyond Interpretation as offering a seasoned and detailed proposal. The essayists have been chosen for their well-established competence and differences in background from the author and from each other. This issue of Psychoanalytic Inquiry consists of six essays written in response to Gedo's ideas. In tum, Gedo responds to the essayists. The scope of issues covered in Beyond Interpretation can best be appreciated when we consider that Gedo offers a critique of existing psychoanalytic theory, a proposal for specific revisions in both general and clinical theory, and specific proposals for revisions of analytic technique.
