Sergio Benvenuto is the founder and longstanding editor-in-chief of the Journal of European Psychoanalysis. Anthony Molino is a practicing psychoanalyst and award-winning translator of Italian literature.
In Freud’s Tracks marks an authentic international and
intercultural achievement. The analysts and philosophers
interviewed–all of the highest intellectual stature–offer detailed
historical testimony and colorful personal reflections on the
evolution of psychoanalysis in different countries and contexts, in
line with the editorial mission of the Journal of European
Psychoanalysis. It is a timely, refreshing and indeed stirring
text, at times deliberately provocative, both in its challenge to
institutionalized forms of psychoanalysis and in its revisitation
of crucial moments in the recent history of the discipline. A
pleasure to read, In Freud’s Tracks also captures the imagination
as it brings to life the intensely personal experience of some of
the foremost contributors to modern-day psychoanalysis–a subjective
twist that only amplifies the intellectual significance of the
editors’ tour de force.

Wind, Like Wave*
In recent years, Freud's tracks have led psychoanalysis into new
spaces, where the genre of dialogue between analysts has come to
unfold as a key source for deeper understanding of theories and
techniques. This important volume offers a first-hand sense of just
how psychoanalytic knowledge gets generated between analysts in
conversation, where we let our life and work be known with the
Other, in something akin to what Martin Buber called the encounter
between I and Thou. In Freud's Tracks makes for indispensable
reading for anyone interested in psychoanalytic teaching, training,
and personal-professional development.

This collection of interviews, previously published in the Journal
of European Psychoanalysis, is both fascinating and unique in its
array of contributions from philosophers, psychoanalysts,
historians, intellectuals, and literary critics. The context of
psychoanalytic thought is—in view of the conversations collected in
this volume—clearly interdisciplinary, taking into account the
philosophical, the cultural, the social and political, as well as
the scientific. These conversations are distinctive in their
approach and can certainly catch one's attention by their unique
quality and the variety of issues covered.
*Metapsychology Online, 21 July 2009*
This is a wonderful collection of interviews with some of Europe's
most prominent psychoanalysts: Jean Laplanche, Julia Kristeva,
Christopher Bollas, Elizabeth Roudinesco, and Cornelius
Castoriadis, to name just a few. For the reader this beautifully
edited and polished collection provides a rare opportunity to
participate in these informal and illuminating conversations about
key conceptual issues and to learn something about the relationship
between the person and the idea. One cannot finish this book
without a deepened appreciation of the potential that
psychoanalysis has as a vitally alive intellectual discipline and a
powerful cultural and political force.
