The International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of original work on the application of psychoanalysis to the entire range of human knowledge. This truly interdisciplinary journal offers a concentrated focus on the subjective and relational aspects of the human unconscious and its expression in human behavior in all its variety.

The journal demonstrates a special interest in contemporary social issues; however, it also encompasses virtually every field and topic of human scholarly study, such as violence, gender, ethnicity, politics, international diplomacy, sociology, education, the environment, medicine, immigration, organizational psychology, management, spirituality and religion, philosophy, anthropology, physics and the arts (including music, drawing, painting, sculpture, prose, poetry, film and theater).

The International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies welcomes original research papers, review articles, short communications, editorials, and special sections headed by outstanding psychoanalytic and other scholars.
