International journal for psychoanalysis
The International Journal of Psychoanalysis was a specialist psychoanalytic journal that appeared from 1913 to 1937 and from 1939 to 1941 as an organ of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA).
The first publication was preceded by a dispute with Wilhelm Steckel , the editor of the Zentralblatt für Psychoanalyse . Sigmund Freud and an editorial board were responsible for the new magazine, which replaced the Zentralblatt as the official organ of the IPA from 1913 onwards. The advisory board initially included Sándor Ferenczi , Otto Rank and Ernest Jones . Publisher was Hugo Heller in Leipzig and Vienna.
In the first years (1913 to 1919) the title was International Journal for Medical Psychoanalysis . The establishment was an expression of the efforts of the IPA to strictly separate itself from other psychoanalytic schools. It should create a structure for international scientific communication outside of congresses. Both clinical and theoretical contributions, literature reviews and, as an integral part of the journal, the correspondence sheet of the International Psychoanalytic Association were published .
After the Hugo Heller publishing house had financial problems at the end of the First World War, the Internationale Psychoanalytische Verlag was founded in 1919 to continue publishing . Karl Abraham and Eduard Hitschmann joined the editorial board. The term "medical" was deleted from the title after non-doctors increasingly began to work psychoanalytically. In 1920 Otto Rank became editor-in-chief as director of the international psychoanalytical publishing house. After his dispute with Freud, Rank lost all official functions in 1924, including magazine editing. In 1925 Max Eitingon , Sándor Radó and Sándor Ferenczi became the new editors-in-chief.
In the meantime, an English-language counterpart had also appeared, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis . Articles were mutually exchanged in translations.
In 1938 the magazine could no longer appear after the National Socialists came to power. From year 24 (1939) to 26 (1941) it was then published in exile in London, merged with the magazine Imago , as the international magazine for psychoanalysis and Imago .
