The article on The Politics of Psychoanalysis, by Robert Stiler, which appeared in our August issue, has aroused considerable interest. We are in receipt of a number of critical replies from readers. They will appear in our November issue with replies by Stiler.
We take this occasion to offer an explanation to our readers and an apology to Stiler for inadvertently creating some confusion about the views expressed in the article. Most of the critics of Stiler have commented on his failure to deal with Fromm, Horney and other current schools of psychoanalytic thought. This failure was due to the fact that the article was originally written to appear as the first in a series of four. The second was to be devoted to Horney-Fromm, the third to Reich and the last to a summary argument. Due to space limitations, The New International agreed to the publication of the first article only. However, our failure to inform our readers of the circumstances under which it was being published led to considerable misunderstanding. Stiler’s reply to the critics of his article will afford him an opportunity to make further clarification of this aspect of the controversy. – Editors
