The Michael Fordham Prize for 2007
The Edtors are pleased to announce that the Michael Fordham Prize for the best paper relating to clinical issues submitted in 2007 has been awarded to Jean Knox for her article which appeared in the November 2007 (Volume 52, Issue 5):
'The fear of love: the denial of self in relationship'
Abstract:  This paper explores the fear of love and relationship which develops when a child has experienced parents who cannot tolerate emotional separation and so attempt to retain perfect contingency with their infant, long after the infant needs to begin to separate and individuate. The child is a 'self-object' for the parents, who depend on the responses of others, including their own child, to maintain a sense of their own identity. The impact of this demand for 'reverse parenting' on the child's development is explored and clinical work with an adult patient whose history reflects this process is described.

Verena Kast, Professor of Psychology, University of Zurich

"The Journal is highly stimulating. It is not only the main organ of the "developmental strand" of Analytical Psychology, publishing high quality clinical papers, I appreciate also its openness for other Jungian approaches to clinical papers and cultural issues and, last but not least, its informative and up to date book review section."
Mario Jacoby, Training Analyst, Zurich
