First published in 1990

This is Volume 10, number 1 of Psychoanalytic Inquiry 1990 which looks at the procedure of converting psychotherapy, which is seen as relatively commonplace in today's psychoanalytic practice. However, there are a number of unresolved questions that surround this.

This is a collection of papers that deal with some of the clinical and theoretical aspects of the procedure—of shifting a patient from psychotherapy to psychoanalysis.
