Creative Literary

Psychoanalytic Perspectives is the first psychoanalytic journal to offer a Creative Literary section devoted to short stories, creative non-fiction and poetry. These pages are dedicated to recognizing pieces that are tied both strongly and loosely to themes inherent in psychoanalysis.

It is important to cultivate creative space within this journal for many reasons. Creativity is an important part of our work and daily lives. Through these pages, we carve out a domain where artistic expression is both valued and appreciated. Creativity exists in everyone and this section celebrates the threshold where creativity and psychoanalysis intersect.

The Creative Literary section is open to therapists and others interested in publishing in a psychoanalytic journal. Recent issues of Psychoanalytic Perspectives have included creative works by Thomas Ogden, Robert Stolorow, Bonnie Zindel and Rachel Newcombe.

Short stories and essays should not exceed 12 pages when single spaced. We do not consider material that has been previously published.

Private Lives

The nonfiction essays submitted to this section should profile something engaging and compelling from the therapist's personal life. Subjects can vary from childhood to adult experiences, phantasmal or historical. Examples include such experiences as first love, a death, a moment that altered your life, or loss of a loved one, including a patient.

The story should be written in literary form and be creative and nonacademic so that the reader is engaged in a personal experience with the narrator.

The length is limited to 10 double-spaced pages, approximately 3000 words.
