The Analyst as Storyteller / El Analista Como Narrador

The writers of these stories invite us the readers to travel with their narratives to places close by and faraway in the past present and future remembered experienced and imagined. Engaging in their stories we will recreate the worlds these authors have sketched to be unfolded within our own minds. These stories-all winners of a short story competition called for by the Culture Committee of The International Psychoanalytic Association-are surprising moving and thought-provoking. They linger in the mysterious space where fiction and reality merge and our own creativity starts to blossom.-Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau Editor and Chair of the IPA in Culture Committee
