The Italian quarterly journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (“Psychotherapy and the Human Sciences”) reached its fiftieth year of continuous publication in 2016. During this half century, the journal has followed the development of the psychotherapies and of psychoanalysis, taking into account both clinical and theoretical issues as well as professional training. Its mission is to keep readers apprised of innovations and debates within psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and to stimulate critical thinking not biased toward any particular school of thought or institutional affiliation.
The journal was founded in 1967 by Pier Francesco Galli of Bologna. Galli continues as a coeditor of the journal, along with Marianna Bolko and Paolo Migone. The Editorial Board includes several prominent Italian analysts and others based in Zurich and Vienna, as well as some notable American members—among them Morris Eagle, Drew Westen, and a member of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly's Board of Directors, Lawrence Friedman.
Founded as a truly interdisciplinary forum, the journal publishes psychoanalytic contributions alongside those of disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, the educational sciences, and history. One of the journal's objectives has long been to serve as a critical stimulus for professional organizations and mental health services, especially those pertaining to the topics of training, technical theory, and the relationship between psychotherapy and the human sciences in debates among colleagues who represent various types of training.
