In its annual meeting in August 2000, the Editorial Board of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review decided to modify the editorial procedure in the evaluation of manuscripts. Up to this point, members of the Board have read and evaluated the manuscripts, knowing the name of the author. Following it's meeting, the Board decided to introduce a so-called anonymous peer review evaluation procedure. Following this, the editor will send manuscripts to anonymous readers (members of the Board or external readers), and the author of the manuscript remains – likewise – anonymous for these same readers. This evaluation system has for a long time been generally used in most scientific disciplines, and has, during recent years, also become more prevalent in psychoanalytic journals. By introducing an anonymous peer review evaluation procedure, the Editorial Board of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review hopes to be able to guarantee a high scientific standard of the journal.
Every now and then, an issue of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review has concentrated on one theme, e.g., the issue on Ibsen in 1990 (Vol. 13:2). The present issue centers on applied psychoanalysis and inter-disciplinary studies. Two papers deal with films, one applies psychoanalytic thought to a work of literary art, one studies testimonies from the Holocaust, and one discusses the relevance of ethics in psychoanalysis. In this way, the journal wishes to continue the Nordic tradition of writing on applied psychoanalysis.
