Irrespective of the particular type of psychotic illness under consideration of the context or treatment, each paper illustrates how the psychoanalytic clinician searches to establish meaning from events which are highly complex and often overwhelmingly confusing.

This particular collection of papers has been given a contemporary edge with the inclusion of concurrent international online discussions of the papers. These lively debates serve to contextualise these important intellectual contributions to the world of psychoanalysis.
