He is a former editor of 'La Revue francaise de Psychanalyse', former member of the IPA Publications Committee, former Scientific Secretary to the Institut de Paris, and currently chairs the Executive Committee of the Commission d'Enseignement de la Societe Psychanalytique de Paris. He has published several papers in various psychoanalytical journals, including the 'International Journal of Psychoanalysis'. His books include 'Sandor Ferenczi', and 'De la pratique analytique', translated under the title 'The Practice of Psychoanalysis'.

'Thierry Bokanowski's latest book builds a bridge between several cultures and generations of the Freudian practice. He follows Meltzer's option to target the psychoanalytic process in order to explore every aspect of mental functioning during the psychoanalytic treatment: object relations, identifications, narcissism, trauma, transference and countertransference, and negativity. He examines the development of these, both in neurotic and non-neurotic personality structures. As an outstanding clinician, Bokanowski presents theoretical issues experienced in his day-to-day practice.'- Florence Guignard, full member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), and author of Quelle psychanalyse pour le XXIe siecle?'This book has a double importance, both as is an extension of the theory and of the clinical practice of the analytical process. It is a reference book for students of psychoanalysis and should be included in the curriculum of all psychoanalytic training institutes.'- Sergio Lewkowicz, MD, training and supervising psychoanalyst of the Porto Alegre Psychoanalytical Society, Brazil
