Editorial

As always, I would like to thank the editors, board members and reviewers of the journal for their ongoing invaluable work, especially during these challenging times. A positive aspect of the current situation is that we now are able to have greater interregional contact via Zoom meetings. Our IJP Writing Workshop Webinar attracted over 200 people, and we are planning webinars around IJP papers.

It is with great regret to announce that in June this year Lucy LaFarge stood down as North American Regional and Associate Editor. Lucy was a very valued editor and excellent colleague and was with the journal for a decade. I always enjoyed our invigorating discussions on submitted papers and will greatly miss her excellent input. I wish Lucy all the best in her new post. I am very pleased that Bruce Reis, Training and Supervising Analyst and Faculty Member at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, currently the Book Review Editor for North America, has stepped in to act as North American Editor. He will remain in the post until the official appointment of the North American Editor in March 2022 (an appointment that will take place with the help of the IJP College). Bruce is a great addition to the team, and I look forward to working with him over the coming months.

On the matter of reappointments, it is with enormous sadness that I myself will be standing down from the Editor in Chief post in March 2022 as my term of office comes to an end then. I will say more at a future point about the absolute pleasure it has been to work as Editor for the journal, but for the moment I want to bring your attention to the appointment process of the next Editor in Chief. Information about the new appointment can be found here: . The deadline for applications for the post is 31 October 2020.
