Psychoanalytic Perspectives considers the difference between psychoanalytic writing and writing psychoanalytically. Both, it is argued, are deep and complex productions, the former being a concretization of what we do ephemerally every day in the clinical trenches, that is, endeavor to formulate and speak the experience of our patients, the latter being a potential platform with rich arteries into vital, nonanalytic spaces. The inevitability of a writer’s evolutionary change is also considered in this introduction, and book reviews are discussed as a particular form of analytic writing too easily relegated to back-of-the-book status.
