Aims & Scope

Language and Psychoanalysis is the only interdisciplinary journal with a strong focus on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of language and psychoanalysis. The journal is also inclusive and not narrowly confined to the Freudian psychoanalytic theory but open to all language-based psychotherapeutic modalities. Language and Psychoanalysis welcomes a wide range of original contributions that further the understanding of the interaction between Linguistic Analysis and Theory & Psychotherapeutic Theories and Techniques. Any relevant manuscripts with an emphasis on language and psychotherapy will be considered, including papers on methodology, theory, philosophy, child development, psychopathology, psychotherapy, embodied cognition, cognitive science, applied dynamical system theory, consciousness studies, cross-cultural research, and case studies. The journal also publishes short research reports, book reviews, interviews, obituaries, and readers' comments.
