Borderlines in Psychoanalysis
The « borderline » personality occupies a privileged, albeit highly unstable site along the edge of psychoanalysis. The current Special Issue begins to fill the glaring lack of any sustained work at the intersections of humanities border theory and the clinical discussion of the « borderline»--with essays by psychoanalysts, humanists, and social scientists of diverse methodological traditions and persuasions.
