title: Psychoanalysis in the 1980s.
abstract: Psychoanalysis has passed through several dialectic steps of development. At present, it appears invigorated by social needs such as accountability and by object-relations theory and self-psychology. As the most rigorous application of causality to the understanding of human behavior, it is likely to endure into new social eras and outlive the various diluted and trendy fads.
