What does psychoanalysis mean after the relational turn, attachment and mentalization research, field theory, outcome studies, remote treatment, and renewed attention to race, gender, disability, and power? The Pocket Dictionary of Contemporary Psychoanalysis offers a precise map of a plural field without pretending that its schools have merged into one.

Its 240 alphabetized entries connect contemporary Freudian, Kleinian, post-Bionian, Lacanian, self-psychological, interpersonal, relational, intersubjective, attachment-informed, neuropsychoanalytic, and critical traditions. Readers will find analytic pluralism, mutual recognition, the analytic third, implicit relational knowing, multiple self-states, mentalization-based treatment, transference-focused psychotherapy, psychodynamic diagnosis, routine outcome monitoring, cultural humility, digital confidentiality, and artificial intelligence.

Every entry includes a definition, theoretical or historical context, three internal cross-references, and a critical clinical note. The book distinguishes mutual influence from equal responsibility, interpretation from fact, research support from overclaiming, and technological possibility from ethical permission. It is Volume 12 and the concluding volume of The Pocket Psychoanalysis Library from ABRAFP International Press.
