Volume 69 of the journal is published.
As editor Louis Rose takes the helm, he plans to uphold the multidisciplinary nature that Freud first established for the journal and that successive editors advanced:
“I see the continuing direction of the journal as creating more and wider bridges between the world of university scholarship and psychoanalytic theory and research. In that role, we will publish works from throughout the humanities, arts, and social sciences.”
The articles planned for this year reflect this vision. Upcoming contributors and topics include:
- Debora Silverman, author of Art Nouveau in Fin-de-Siècle France: Politics, Psychology, and Style, on the avant-garde and war at a distance.
- French academic historian and psychoanalyst Elisabeth Roudinesco on Freud and regicide.

- Liliane Weissberg, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor in Arts and Sciences and Professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, on the art of Freud's patient the “Wolf Man.”
