"This anthology, the fourth in this series, focusing on 'expansion' in terms of the current state of relational psychoanalysis, illuminates not only a deepening of thought but also an intensified intertwining of ideas and domains, with a particular focus throughout on keeping creative and reflective space open. Consistently, the chapters reveal that the relational turn, along with the essential influences of feminist theory, gender and social theory, and the deconstructions of many of the polarizations that have served as dogma in our sociopolitical realm, continues to open up dialogic space, posing challenging questions that encourage a constant rethinking and deeper understanding of what renders us human, vital, and engaged. Through this volume we, as an ongoing relational community, are invited to think more deeply about and quest more piercingly many of the contradictions we have accepted for too readily and reflexively." - Hazel Ipp, From the Foreword"Why read any anthology of psychoanalytic work? These tomes commonly sit on library reference shelves, waiting for students taking survey courses and for the instructors who teach them. Here worth considering throughout is Relational Psychoanalysis, Volume 4: Expansion of Theory, a fresh sampling of papers, primarily plucked from the last decade as the relational movement began to congeal. It contains many of the clearest voices across the panoply of predominantly American Relational, Self Psychological and Interpersonal theorists." -Virgina Rachmani M.A., L.C.S.W., American Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2014
