The editors of Psychoanalysis, Self and Context are proposing an issue devoted to clinical and scholarly articles on the on-going impact of COVID19, including the deeply troubling racial, class, and social inequalities this pandemic has exposed.

As you move through these extraordinary and challenging times, we urge you to take note and reflect upon your clinical work and theoretical anchors.  We invite you to then consider writing and submitting an article for possible inclusion in this special issue.  What clinical adaptions, disruptions, and perturbations are taking place? What can we as psychoanalytic practitioners learn from all of this?  What do we have to contribute?  How does this experience confirm, disrupt, or expand our theory-making?  How have these experiences challenged, broadened, confirmed, or disrupted our assumptions about our self psychologically informed practice habits?  How has COVID-19 and its unfolding aftermath infected our clinical lives?  How do we move forward into what is still an uncertain future?

To have your paper considered for publication, we ask that you submit a 5 page maximum 1250 word proposal before September 1, 2020.  If your proposal is chosen for publication, the final document, with a maximum of 8000 words, would be due no later than December 1, 2020.

Please submit your proposal or completed paper to the PSC co-editors, Elizabeth Corpt (ecorpt@comcast.net)  and Annette Richard (annettepsy@me.com), no later than September 1, 2020.
