The CIPS Book Series was founded in 2008 by a small group of industrious CIPS analysts who, inspired by an idea first articulated by Norbert Freedman, thought the confederation should have its own publication outlet and footprint. The board appointed, then, CIPS treasurer Meg Beaudoin to chair the Book Series committee and shepherd the project forward from imagination to realization. As is often the case when ideas take flight, the behind-the-scenes work of those who bring the project to fruition stays on the “cutting room floor” known to only a few.

CIPS is the national professional organization of the independent International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA) societies of the United States. He is member of the IPA and was previously on the Executive Council of the IPA.
When Theories Touch is the first book in the CIPS book series. It reviews the thought and work of the great theorists of psychoanalysis. Dr. Ellman has a remarkable ability to dwell within the psychic reality of each of the great theorists he discusses, and to make it feel as if each one were explaining his or her theory in person.
MoreThe CIPS Book Series, entitled "The Boundaries of Psychoanalysis," is making its debut this month with the publication of a major new work on comparative psychoanalysis, "When Theories Touch," by Steven J. Ellman. Dr. Ellman's book examines the interface of Freudian theory with the theoretical systems of D.W. Winnicott, Melanie Klein, Wilfred Bion, and a variety of contemporary schools of psychoanalytic thought.
MoreThe CIPS book series was planned by the CIPS Book Series Committee in conjunction with the CIPS Board over the course of three years. The idea for the series was first articulated by Norbert Freedman, who thought it would be valuable for CIPS to have its own publication outlet with a CIPS imprint.
MoreThe book series will open with seven planned volumes, and continue in an open-ended fashion thereafter, enabling us to publish books that represent the work of our members and our professional community. The series, which is entitled "Boundaries of Contemporary Psychoanalysis", will feature books that address differences and similarities in schools of psychoanalytic thought, as well as the relationship of psychoanalysis to adjacent disciplines.
MoreCIPS is committed to promoting both the creativity of our members and the development of new volumes for the new series. The theme of our book series is intentionally broad so that we can accommodate a wide range of books in the series.
