Kalina Stamenova, PhD, FHEA, is a research fellow and a lecturer at the University of Essex. Her research interests involve psychoanalytic research methods, psychoanalysis and education, and psychoanalysis and organisations. R. D. Hinshelwood is a British psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who has always had a part-time commitment to the public service (NHS and universities) and to teaching psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. He has written on Kleinian psychoanalysis and on the application of psychoanalysis to social science and political themes. He has taken an interest in and published on the problems of making evidenced comparisons between different schools of psychoanalysis.
This volume is to be welcomed as an innovative contribution to psychoanalytic research premised on the unconscious and including authors with thorough knowledge of psychoanalysis. Contributions reflect clinical psychoanalytic traditions, while being able to apply these to research, examine foundations and engage with wider psychosocial research debate. --Wendy Hollway, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Open University, UK
