This issue of the Romanian Journal of Psychonalaysis (RJP) is a legitimate sequel of the previous issue, dedicated to the same theme: The Authentic. What I found beyond ordinary and I provoke you to find it also by reading the articles of this issue is the surprising quality of the Authentic.

The richness of the images comprised in the articles presented makes the reading seem like a journey on a road that seems to follow its own steps. On this road we encounter living beings that are brought to light in various perspectives. Sometimes their position doesn't allow you to see their shadows, only their enlightened faces. And this happens if we look at them square in the face. But if we choose the whole game of possibilities, the oneiric space opens up other perspectives. And then rear shadows can become shadows from the front or right or left. And if we twist the images long enough, we get to the diametrically opposed point from which the shadows disappear again and we see only a bright face. And the image that we can look at as a dream from any angle has its own life, its own emotional and body movements, and as you move your eyes around it, moves, transforms, bringing the dynamism at a completely new level. And if binocular movements can become so complex, they are enriched with new artistic-musical-coloristic dimensions from outside and a multitude of subtle observations of internal movements that open the possibility of approaching the difficult situations encountered when two subjectivities are found in the presence or absence of one another.
