Rivista di Psicoanalisi

The Rivista di Psicoanalisi is the official journal of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. It was founded by Edoardo Weiss, and the first issue appeared in 1932 as Rivista Italiana di Psicoanalisi (1932-1934). Shut down during the Fascist years, it resumed publication in 1955 without further interruptions.

The objective of the Rivista is to provide a continual update on topics of psychoanalytic research and to extend its readers’ literary panorama into the international field by featuring contributions from foreign authors. Readers are offered the most up to date and significant contributions to psychoanalysis in the Freudian tradition, with close attention being paid to current developments in theoretical thinking and contemporary clinical practice, both in relation to the psychoanalysis of adults and of children and adolescents. Each year a selection of the most significant work published during the previous year comes out in English with the aim of fostering the reading of Italian work by foreign colleagues.
