Announcing the addition of Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society to PEP-Web
In an interim release (v2022), PEP has added the complete contents (26 volumes, 1996-current) of the journal, Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, now available to all PEP-Web subscribers.
Currently in its twenty sixth year of publication, the academic journal, Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society was founded by an international group of academics to provide a space where critical intellectuals from the fields of politics, cultural studies, and the humanities, as well as both academic and clinical psychoanalysts could engage in dialog to understand pressing social trends.
A key underlying purpose of the journal is to explore issues of social justice and understand obstacles to progressive social change. The journal does not endorse any one single psychoanalytic viewpoint or orthodoxy but is open to a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives that address the intersection of psychoanalysis, culture and society and that explore pressing issues of equity, inequality, sustainability, theories of subject formation, and the potential for emancipatory clinical practice.
As well as rigorous Original Articles, the journal welcomes alternative and experimental forms of writing in its Counterspace, and also publishes reviews of new academic books in psychoanalysis and critical social sciences that are in line with its mission.
The journal is co-owned by international publisher Palgrave/Springer, and the Association for the Psychoanalysis of Culture & Society, which holds an annual academic meeting usually at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA in late October. All articles published in the journal are subjected to rigorous peer review from members of our distinguished international Editorial Board.
Due to contracts with the publishers, there is a three-year moving wall (embargo of current articles) for Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society. This means, you can browse the tables of contents up through the current issue, and searches include the complete text of the articles, but only the titles and abstracts (or summaries) will be displayed for articles from 2019 and newer. For details on how to read the full text of 2019 and more current articles see the publisher’s official website here.
The PEP-Web 2022 Release is Here!
This release provides another year of all current publications which move out of the publisher’s embargo period: subscribers will have access to the 2018 issues of current journals with 3-year embargoes, and 2016 issues of journals with 5-year embargoes.
In addition, we have added 4 new journals!
➡ Journal of Psychological Therapies
➡ Oedipus Annual – Greek Annual Psychoanalytic Review
➡ Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in China
➡ The International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy
A fifth journal is also in preparation:
➡ Psychoanalysis Culture and Society
Scheduled for an intermediate release in a few months, a selection of article abstracts are available now to subscribers.
IJP-Open returns to PEP-Web!
➡ IJP-Open – Open Peer Review and Debate
IJP-Open articles and commentary are accessible to all PEP-Web subscribers. Tip: Look for the “speech bubbles” icon, located next to the article’s “print” and “download” icons to open and join in the discussion.
With this release, we are also including fixes for many of the issues, which users have reported with the initial phase of the new PEP-Web interface. We will continue to do so, and to add and develop new features that benefit our users. Please help us improve by providing feedback and reporting errors using the “Help” icon.
This new release of PEP-Web contains the complete text and illustrations of 83 premier journals in psychoanalysis, 100 classic psychoanalytic books, 104 videos, and the full text and editorial notes of the 24 volumes of the Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud as well as the 19 volume German Freud Standard Edition – Gesammelte Werke. It spans over 110 publication years and contains the full text of articles whose source ranges from 1911 through 2021. There are over 139,936 articles and 18,773 figures and illustrations that originally resided on 2591 volumes with over 1.25 million printed pages. In hard copy, the PEP-Web Archive represents a stack of paper more than 409 feet high and weighing over 5 tons!
The New PEP-Web Platform 2021 Beta has now launched!
Click here to access The New PEP-Web platform!
For the last three years PEP has been developing a modern new interface with many extra features and the capability for further feature development. The development was necessitated by a commercial takeover of our existing provider who served us extraordinarily well for twenty years and have also been very helpful in the changeover.
It is now available in Beta – meaning there may still be some rough edges and not all features are fully operational. Once the Beta phase has proved that everything works well enough, the existing platform will close.
PEP-Web name change for the “Revue Roumaine De Psychanalyse”
Revue Roumaine De Psychanalyse”, which is also published with the name “Romanian Journal of Psychoanalysis”, has shifted towards all English content and has requested PEP to change the running head and listing for the journal to the English version of their name. The journal name has now been changed to the English version on PEP-Web.

“My working definition of psychoanalysis is that it’s the disciplined study of whatever it is people do not want to know about themselves.”
(Warren S. Poland, Insights in Psychoanalysis)

Revista de Psicoanálisis, a publication of the Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina (APA), Volumes 1-27 (1943 – 1970) has been added to PEP-Web and is now available to all subscribers.
The leading journal in psychoanalysis in Latin America for this period, you will find in its contents many of the classic original contributions. Those unable to read Spanish should access PEP-Web via the Google Chrome browser and use its translation facilities to read in their own language. Spanish-English is remarkably good.

Revista líder en Psicoanálisis en Latinoamérica, durante este periodo, encontrará en su contenido muchas de las contribuciones originales clásicas.

Announcing the Chinese Annual of IJP on PEP-Web
It is with huge pleasure that we announce the launch of The Chinese Annual of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. We believe that making the IJP more accessible to Chinese speakers is crucial to promoting the interchange between Anglophone and Chinese speaking psychoanalysts, and a significant step in further opening up the IJP to non-English speaking psychoanalysts.
The Chinese Annual is a Chinese translation of a selection of papers chosen from the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Along with the IJP Annuals and IJP Open we hope that the Chinese Annual will help further international connections.
Read more about The Chinese Annual of IJP here.
24 Hour Video Subscriptions Now Available
PEP is proud to offer a way to access the PEP Videos, if you are not a PEP subscriber. We are offering a Video 24 subscription, which allows viewing for any of the videos in a 24 hour period. For only $9.99 you can view a large array of videos including the renowned PEP Grant Videos, Black Analysts Speak and Psychoanalysis in El Barrio or Controversial Discussions for the XXIst Century. Videos are accessible by Category or by Publisher. New Videos are constantly being added, such as those by the PEP/UCL Project which interviews some of the top PEP Authors.
Announcing video previews!
We are very pleased to announce a new feature on PEP-Web: Video Previews.
Currently, PEP-Web can be searched without logging in, making the powerful database of psychoanalytic literature useful to everyone.
Now we’ve added a video preview feature, to allow articles with videos to show a short excerpt of the video for users who are not subscribers, or whenever you are not logged in. In addition, the video previews are now integrated into the search feature, so results lists show the preview rather than a static image like before. If you have previews turned off in the search options at the top of the search results, make sure you turn them on:
The previews are authored excerpts to give you a good flavor for the video, rather than being just the first moments of the video. However, this means that we have to take time to author the excerpts, so not all videos are available as previews yet. We will continue to add them over time, both for new videos and those already published on PEP-Web.
Meanwhile, our video library keeps growing with new videos being added weekly.
New Feature – Tips! And with it, a completely new Support site!
PEP has quietly rolled out a new feature to PEP-Web. At the bottom of the PEP Banner we now have a “tip feature” which will help you get the most of PEP-Web, and help you to use PEP-Web more efficiently and effectively. Originally, we thought we might offer a tip of the day feature, or one new tip each day. But we’ve decided to randomly show a new tip each time the page is refreshed. So you’ll get multiple tips each day!
You will only be able to view the first part of the tip until you hover over the tip. Then a pop-up box shows up with the full tip. Also, at the bottom of the tip, there’s a link that takes you to the support page where you can see the entire list of tips.
When you click on “See PEP-Web tips” (at the bottom of the tip) you will notice that you are now on the new PEP Support site! You can find information about PEP-Web, subscriptions, support, and direct access to the PEP-Web digital archive.
Other easy ways to get to the support site:
- Click on Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing on the PEP-Web banner area.
or - Click “Help” at the bottom of the PEP-Web page
or - Use the web address (URL) http://support.pep-web.info. Note that it’s just the URL PEP-Web, prefixed with the word “support”.
We hope that the new tip feature, and the new support site, helps make your use of PEP-Web more efficient and enjoyable. And we look forward to continuing to improve it over time.
2015 Midyear News Update
2015 Video Competition
There will be no Video competition in 2015. If you believe you have a very good idea for video project please contact pepweb@ucl.ac.uk.
Find out about the successful film projects here.
PEP Author Video Interview Project
A new Video Project which will replace the PEP Video Grants.
PEP will use the video grant funds to make brief videos of the most cited psychoanalytic authors.
PEP will call it the “The Top 100 Project.” PEP will set up a small studio and fund the video staff, interviewer and the facility.
There will be a pilot project at the APsaA Meetings in January 2016.
Other News
Freud Standard Edition and German Collected works are integrated such that by hovering the cursor in a paragraph of the GW the uses will get the equivalent translated paragraph in SE (and vice versa from SE to the German in GW).
PEP has developed a Book Publishing Policy and its main aim is to obtain the rights for book content that is heavily cited in PEP references, but not already a part of the PEP Archive. Adding new book content is in process but is slow, as obtaining copyright is problematic. Most publishers withhold these rights and want to electronically publish themselves. Psychoanalytic authors, when negotiating contracts, should try to maintain their electronic rights to the greatest extent possible, even if limited only to future publication on PEP-Web.
PEP-Web includes video. Try it out!
Announcing a New Feature – Offline Reading!
Now subscribers can download PEP-Web articles to read later, even when not connected to the Internet. There are two download formats available: PDF and ePub, each with an easy and convenient download button, which you can find on our toolbar (next to the print icon) at the top of an article.
When you click either of these buttons, the article you are reading is automatically downloaded to your device so that you can read the article even when you are not connected to the Internet. You don’t need to download both…download whichever best meets your needs. Below we explain the advantages of each format.
Download PDF: The new PDF feature is oriented toward on-screen reading. In this case, the PDFs are reproduced a single page per output page, to look more like a journal page, and to make the text less wide and less dense and easy to read electronically (rather than printed). The PDF bookmarks feature is utilized to provide a Table of Contents (table of section headings). Links are active, and take you to the associated section of the document for within-document jumps, and to PEP-Web for links to other PEP-Web articles (for links to PEP-Web, it requires that you are online). PDF works on all size devices, but since line length does not change to accommodate screen size, you may have to scroll left and right to read lines, or zoom in and out, depending on your device screen size.
Download EPub: ePub is a standard book reader format which is reflowable, which is to say it allows more flexibility in page layout. The ePub format is ideal for reading on phones and smaller devices. You need to have a eBook reader app to read ePub format (and many phones and tablets come with one standard). The real benefit over PDF is that the text wraps to fit your device perfectly. Depending on what reader you use, the fonts are also scalable, so that text is at a comfortable size for reading. On some devices, you can even set it to display multiple columns of text. Where possible, a Table of Contents is provided using the section headings. Links are active, and take you to the associated section of the document for within-document jumps, and to PEP-Web for links to other PEP-Web articles (for links to PEP-Web, it requires that you are online).
Notes:
1) On some devices, the downloaded file will open automatically in the associated application after it’s finished.
2) PEP-Web doesn’t have all the original journal’s font information and styling–all journals are displayed in PEP’s standardized styling). Because of this, pages sometimes contain more text than the page size allows, and a single page may flow onto a second page. Since the intent here is primarily onscreen reading while offline, we hope this won’t be an inconvenience.
Announcing a New Journal: IJP en español
It is with huge pleasure that we announce the launch of the Spanish online version of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis – IJP en español (IJP-es). As the third most spoken language in the world, Spanish is also one of the most important IPA languages. We believe that making the IJP more accessible to Spanish speakers is crucial to promoting the interchange between Anglophone and Spanish speaking psychoanalysts, and a significant step in further opening up the IJP to non-English speaking psychoanalysts.
IJP en español is a Spanish translation of the entire International Journal, excluding book reviews. Issues of IJP en español will appear on PEP approximately two months following the publication of the International Journal, bimonthly – April (Number 1), June (Number 2), August (Number 3), October (Number 4), December (Number 5), February (Number 6).
Along with the IJP Annuals and IJP Open we hope that IJP en español will help further international connections.
