<p>I have, in this collection, placed 20 of my articles that have been previously<br />
published separately in refereed psychoanalytic journals or as chapters in psychoanalytic<br />
books. The papers are ordered in six &ldquo;Parts,&rdquo; not chronologically but<br />
according to subject matter that fits together by topic or area of interest. Each part<br />
involves a topic that had customarily been thought of in binary terms, but may<br />
now may now be thought of not as &ldquo;either/or&rdquo; theoretical and clinical issues, but<br />
more integratively. Of utmost importance to the nature of my thinking as I put<br />
this work together, is the fact that I had not always known that a paper developing<br />
and arguing issues on one subject would some day turn out to be intimately and<br />
significantly related to a paper developing and arguing issues on another subject.<br />
It was only after the fact that I discovered the connections. But is that not<br />
exactly how we expect our minds to preconsciously learn and then influence our<br />
consciously grasped ideas and outcomes?</p>
