The editors of this journal inform us that they used the twentieth anniversary of its publications as the occasion for reorganizing the periodical. The change effects a separation from a number of people with different orientations, making Psyche again a classical psychoanalytic journal. Dr. E. Künzler writes that psychoanalysis in the German-speaking countries once more possesses an independent journal of its own 'twenty-five years after Freud's Internatinale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse came to its distressful end'.
New contributors are being welcomed, among them Dr. Jacob Arlow of New York. Another innovation is a new section where anonymous contributions will be accepted under the title of Preliminary Communications. The idea is to encourage hunches, speculations, not yet proven hypotheses, all intended to open the door to nonconformist views.
Professor Robert Waelder's article, published in This QUARTERLY (XXXVI, 1967, pp. 1-36) heads the contents. There is also an article by John Klauber on the Structure of the Psychoanalytic Session and Interpretations, a paper by Professor Herman Argelander of Frankfurt about the Psychodynamics of the First Interview, an article on the Psychosomatic Background of Essential Hypertension, and, finally, a report by Dr. Erich Gumbel, of Jerusalem, on the historical background of psychoanalysis in Israel.
