From the Editors

By Christina Emanuel (USA) and Maria Tammone (Italy)

Dear IARPP Community,

We are pleased to share the current issue of the IARPP Bookshelf, in which we highlight the scholarly achievements of members of our international community.

As is typical for our members, they are writing and presenting on a wide diversity of topics that we feature in this issue, including, among others, race; sleep; termination; ethics; clinical work with children; and the impact of culture, power, and politics on the analytic process.

We direct your attention in particular to Alejandro Ávila-Espada (Spain) and his recent edited volume featuring commentary on the development of relational psychoanalytic theory from the perspective of Mediterranean Spanish authors, many of whom are well-known to our community.

See below for a detailed list of all articles in this issue of the IARPP Bookshelf; you can click on any item below to be taken directly to it and the rest of the Bookshelf.  Also, please see below for information about submitting items to an upcoming issue of the IARPP Bookshelf or eNews.  The next deadline for submissions is October 31, 2018.

Please note that submissions should be send to Matt Aibel (USA), who will be joining us as co-editor of the Bookshelf and eNews later this year.

Sincerely,

Christina Emanuel and Maria Tammone
