Publications Committee

The Publications Committee serves as liaison to SPPP's Board of Directors and oversees production and recommends policy for our journals. It works closely with the editors of: Psychoanalytic Psychology, our flagship journal and DIVISION/Review, our new (in 2011) journal of opinion and review and trhe editors of our podcast, Couched. The editors are all ex officio members of the Publications Committee.

The committee advises and consults with the internet editor, who is an ex officio committee member, in developing and maintaining our division website and coordinating the division’s electronic communications. We will be appointing a Socail Media Coordinator to assist our publications as well as other activies of the SPPP to increase member (and nonmember) awareness of our activites.

The Publications Committee functions as liaison to the psychoanalytic electronic publisher which produces and maintains the PEP-WEB online database of psychoanalytic journals and books (to which division members receive a discounted subscription). 

We have a joint SPPP/APA Publications Johanna K. Tabin Book Proposal Prize for a first book in psychoanalytic theory, practice and social action as a way of encouraging psychoanalytic authorship among our younger members.
