ABSTRACT
The development of psychoanalytic theory and practice in the 60 years since Ferenczi’s death, encompass[es] object relations, the “widening scope” of psychoanalysis, direct infant observation and research, general recognition of the reality of widespread childhood sexual abuse, contemporary theories of self psychology and intersubjectivity, and relational and social constructivist models of the psychoanalytic situation, the upshot of which is that psychoanalysis has finally caught up with where Ferenczi had been all along.
