Overview

The International Journal of Psychoanalysis Key Papers Series brings together the most important psychoanalytic papers in the journal's eighty-year history in a series of accessible monographs. Approaching the IJP's intellectual resources from a variety of perspectives, the monographs highlight important domains of psychoanalytic enquiry. Key Papers on Borderline Disorders, the third volume in the series, grew out of technical innovation. Psychoanalytic papers to appear in the journal were posted on the IJP website and the psychoanalytic community responded on emerging psychoanalytic ideas almost before they have been fully formulated. They were discussed by an international audience of remarkable intellectual force and insight, and this book is based on the responses.
