“I would like to endorse the Romanian Psychoanalytical Journal which I consider an excellent publication. I wrote in the RPP and was honored to be invited to review several of the papers. I recommend it warmly.”
Marilia Aisenstein, Paris Psychoanalytical Society, Hellenic Psychoanalytical Society February 2021
“Collaborating with peer-reviewed journals, or more specifically, the interactions with the people behind them, usually fade from memory quickly. They are a kind of "non-place" of human interactions, areas of sanitized intellectual transit, where you are relieved to have made it past peer reviews, recommendations, feedback regarding tone, evaluations of your skill, and so on.My experience with the "Romanian Journal of Psychoanalysis" does not fit this pattern at all. There aren’t many peer-reviewed journals with an impeccable reputation in the academic community which go beyond this intellectual transaction. There is an elegance here, reminiscent of the lost and stimulating tradition of humanism. As if the purveyors of scientific papers were people… ”

“It has been a really interesting period to work with the RJP team, as a reviewer. The articles have always been refreshing and thoughts-provoking. So I have learnt a lot and I have often wondered how the rather small and relatively young Romanian Association has been able to publish such a high-quality journal. You have done excellent work. Congratulations!”

On destiny and personal idiom, from Sigmund Freud to Cristopher Bollas

Author: Daniela Luca
21-January-2025

Rom J Psychoanal 2024, 17(2):137-161

DOI: 10.26336/rjp-2024-0020

Abstract: Fate and Destiny are not terms included in psychoanalytic language, in metapsychology, although from the very beginning of the discovery of the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud was impacted by what repeats itself, what cannot be analysed, what overflows over generations of individual life. From Freud to contemporary psychoanalysis, the author attempts to delimit these concepts in order to reveal their significance for the individual's life as well as for clinical practice, when analysis comes to a standstill under the impact of Fate / Destiny, and when working through facilitates the rediscovery of one's own voice, one's own imprint, one's own idiom, as Christopher Bollas has said.
