Abstract

In November of last year History Workshop Journal and the Institute for Contemporary Arts co-sponsored a forum to discuss the special feature on "Psychoanalysis and History" published in issue 26 of the Journal.Jacqueline Rose, a speaker at the forum, was asked to give her comments on the feature: here we publish her contribution in the hope that it will provoke further discussion and debate (see Paola de Cori's article "the CID of die Historian", forthcoming in issue 29, which raises many related themes). © 1984 History Workshop Journal.
