Sandor Ferenczi by Robert Prince, Ph.D., Series Editor With this offering, we are returning to the concept of presenting a paper that represents a turning point—sort of. Ferenczi's private presentation of his "Confusion of Tongues" paper to Freud was a key moment in psychoanalytic history. Although greeted with outrage at the time it was offered and long delayed in publication, the paper represents ideas that over time would come to have enormous significance and eventually shape, interweave and perhaps come to dominate currents of psychoanalytic thinking. In reading it, one cannot help be struck by its thoroughly contemporary tone, its adumbration of the major issues of psychoanalytic discourse for the past twenty years. Who better to provide commentary on "Confusion of Tongues" than the leading Ferenczi scholar, Arnold Rachman. Dr. Rachman is Training and Supervising Analyst— Post-Graduate Center for Mental Health: Clinical Professor of Psychology—Adelphi University,: Associate Professor of Psychiatry—New York University Medical Center; Supervisor, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis; and founder of the Sandor Ferenczi Fellowship. Dr. Rachman has been teaching Ferenczi for over twenty years and has written well over 100 papers about the man, his ideas and his contributions. He has written two books about Ferenczi: Sandor Ferenczi: The Psychotherapist of Tenderness and Passion, (Jason Aronson, Nothvale, NJ, 1997) and Psychotherapy of Difficult Cases: Flexibility and Responsiveness in Contemporary Clinical Practice (Psychosocial Press, Madison, CN , 2000).
