With this issue we celebrate the 70th year of the continuous publication of the American Journal of Psychoanalysis founded by Karen Horney.

Since 2000 I have tried to live up to this august past.
We salute as well the indispensable work of the many members of all the Editorial Boards, and the countless authors whose works have made our Journal an invaluable source for clinicians, researchers and students of human sciences for all these decades.

One of the founding members of the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute, the mother training institute of all, Horney was also present at the birth of The Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, after emigrating to America in 1932. In 1941, after 8 years of affiliation with the New York Psychoanalytic Society, she left and, with other likeminded colleagues established the American Institut
