Editors' Introduction

We are delighted to report that this is the tenth year in the life of our Journal, demonstrating that an interdisciplinary project that began in a spirit of optimism has now become a reliable feature of the landscape in our field. It is always reassuring to see fledgling entities develop beyond infancy—especially when this entity, neuropsychoanalysis, is close to the hearts of so many of us.

Milestones are also an opportunity to acknowledge debts. We are grateful to a remarkably wide range of people who have been responsible for both establishing and nurturing our Journal. We have been assisted by a truly diverse range of colleagues from both the analytic and the neuroscientific communities, who have given their time and energy willingly and unstintingly. We have also been helped by a dedicated team of administrators and other support staff, without whom we could not function. It is also important to acknowledge that many aspects of the Journal's work have been supported by a philanthropic source, in the form of the Astor family.

It seems inappropriate to list the many individuals who fall into the categories outlined above. However, you know who you are, and on behalf of the Editorial Team we would like to offer our heartfelt thanks for your many contributions over the past decade, and with an anticipation of them continuing into the future.

Finally a note of transition in our Journal staff. This is the last issue in which Iréne Matthis will be editing our International Bulletin. Iréne has been involved in International liaison since the first issue, planned over ten years ago, and she has since done a remarkable job in fostering the growth of fledgling groups throughout the world. We now have roughly thirty groups, across all continents, and the growth in our numbers is in no small part due to Iréne's dedicated work. We are enormously grateful for her efforts over the past decade. The role of International Bulletin Coordinator will be continued by Maggie Zellner, who
