A Note From the Editor

Editorial Board Appointments and the June/September Double Issue

We would like to welcome Kenneth Fuchsman of the University of Connecticut and Bob Lentz of Calgary to our Board of Editors. Both have served us well in the past, as they will in the future.

Members of the Psychohistory Forum, readers, and others contributed so many articles that were read anonymously and accepted for publication by our referees that we found ourselves with an superabundance of riches. After consultation with members of the Board of Editors we decided that rather than postpone the “Reliving with Freud Symposium” until the fall, we would have a double issue now, so you now hold in your hands the joint June and September issue. We welcome your comments about it, as well as your future submissions.
