Psychoanalytic Perspectives: Author Guidelines and Submission Information

Information for Contributors

To best reflect the spirit of openness at NIP-TI, we are interested in articles that are innovative and creative, address controversial subjects, and compare different theoretical perspectives. We encourage work that reflects an emphasis on integration of clinical and theoretical material, of diverse analytic techniques, of various psychotherapeutic paradigms and of analytic with non-analytic techniques.

We also invite submissions of poetry, essays, fiction and memoirs relating to themes of psychoanalysis, as well as letters to the editors. Please refer to the Creative Literary Arts section for more information about submitting creative works.

Manuscript Submissions
Four copies of your manuscript and a CD or floppy disk of your work should be submitted to:

Psychoanalytic Perspectives
c/o NIP-TI
250 West 57th Street, Suite 501
New York, NY 10019

All copies should be clear, readable, and printed on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.

Alternatively, manuscripts may be emailed as attachments in Microsoft Word format (.doc) to submissions@psychperspectives.com.

Only original manuscripts will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that they have not been submitted elsewhere. Printed manuscripts will not be returned.

Manuscript Preparation
All components of the manuscript, including abstract, text, quoted passages, footnotes and references must be double spaced, 25 lines on a page, 60 characters to a line, printed in a nonproportional (Times New Roman 10-pt) typeface. An abstarct of 150 words should be included. The first page of the article should contain the author(s) name(s), title of the article, mailing and e-mail addresses and a bio, of up to three lines, containing your current affiliations and positions held. The final pages at the end of the paper are reserved for a list of references to all works cited in the text.

Style
In the manner of most psychoanalytic journals, text references follow the author-date system, e.g. (Grant, 2001) and are cited within the text, not as footnotes or endnotes. Multiple text references are listed chronologically, not alphabetically. Every text citation must have its corresponding reference listing on the reference page at the end of the article, and the reference list should contain publication information only about sources cited in the text. Quotations must be cited by their source page numbers in parentheses, e.g. (p. 120).
