These two volumes, The Legacy and Promise of Hans Loewald and The Emerging Tradition of Hans Loewald, offer a remedy for the gap between the esteem in which Loewald is held by psychoanalysts and the general familiarity with his body of work. In my own analytic training, which I suspect was not unique, the only paper by Loewald assigned was his 1960 paper, “On the Therapeutic Action of Psychoanalysis.” Loewald's Psychoanalysis and the History of the Individual was published in 1978. He later added two substantial monographs, Papers on Psychoanalysis (Loewald, 1980) and Sublimation (Loewald, 1988b). These were compiled into one volume as The Essential Loewald in 2000, with a extensive introduction by Jonathon Lear. Gerald Fogel published The Work of Hans Loewald: An Introduction and Commentary in 1991. To these, I would add Nancy Chodorow's , in 2020. While this last book is not entirely about Loewald, Chodorow identifies an Independent American Tradition of Intersubjective Ego Psychology, with Loewald and Erik Erikson as its primary progenitors.
