ABSTRACT
Throughout the process of writing this book—from our first to last interview, through all the editing, to this conclusion—we have been engaged in the psychoanalytic thinking of these seventeen analysts. Hearing their stories, both clinical and personal, we connected with them as individuals. And as we re-read these interviews, over and over, their presence returned to us, deepening our understanding and connection to them. We were touched by their creativity, thoughtfulness, and love of psychoanalysis.
