Aims and scope

The principal aim of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review is to publish articles of the highest quality and relevance to serve researchers and clinicians interested in psychoanalysis, and to reflect the development of psychoanalysis both internationally and in Scandinavia.

Communicating clinical experience to a broader audience has always been a challenge for the psychoanalytical research community. The aim of the Editors of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review is to facilitate this process. The Editors therefore welcome articles that from a clinical point of departure evolve thoughts as well as viewpoints with a common interest.

Articles aiming to enrich our understanding of cultural phenomena, like literature and art, by means of psychoanalytic models or reasoning are therefore welcome. Precisely such a span of interest has been the hallmark of psychoanalysis ever since the time of Freud, and it makes up the scope of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review
