Sidney J. Blatt's Contributions to Psychoanalytic Psychology: Introduction to the Special Section

This special section honors the 5-decade career of Sidney J. Blatt and his multiple contributions to psychoanalytic theory, research, and practice. Each of the 6 contributions to this section was authored or coauthored by mentees and colleagues of Sid Blatt. Together, they speak to the wide range of his intellect and to his vision of psychoanalysis as a theory capable of capturing both the breadth and the depth of human experience. It is also proposed in this context that the power of Sid Blatt's contributions depended in significant part on his recognition of the importance of collecting intersubjectively shareable findings that could be subjected to public critique. 本专栏致敬了Sidney J. Blatt五十年来的职业生涯和他对精神分析理论、研究和实践的多项贡献。本专栏中的七篇文稿都是由Sid Blatt的学员和同事们著作或合著的。他们一起向我们展示了他广博的智慧和他对精神分析的远见，将精神分析视为能够捕捉到人类经验的广度和深度的理论。在此背景下，也提到了Sid Blatt的贡献很大程度上取决于他认识到了收集主体间可分享的发现的重要性，这可能是易遭到公众批评的。
