In these days of quarantine, we find family, friends, and patients often returning to pleasures of the past for solace. We’ve heard citations from favorite television shows of yore (“Remember that I Love Lucy episode when Lucy climbed into the vat of grapes . . .?”), and held tight to reassuring figures from the not-so-distant past (a Ruth Bader Ginsburg doll clutched in the hands of a three-year-old during a Zoom call, a comfort as much to her parents as to the child herself). We yearn for beloved figures who survived the travails of the past—childhood heroes who make us feel safe and understood, who can help us keep hold of the good in the world, even amid constant reminders of the bad. In keeping with this need, we are pleased to revisit the work of two psychoanalytic icons in this issue: Donald Winnicott (who survived—and helped others survive—the physical and emotional horrors of two world wars) and Edith Jacobson (whose imprisonment by the Nazis informed her thinking). Winnicott’s influence has spread throughout the psychoanalytic world, and crossed into the zeitgeist; it informs the work of at least two graphic novelists, Alison Bechdel (reviewed by Rebecca Chaplan in JAPA 62/4) and Sarah Boxer (reviewed in this issue). Jacobson’s work—and her successors’ debt to it—is somewhat less well-known; as our reviewer suggests, this may be due in part to the “missing transatlantic link of a complete English translation.”

在隔离的这些日子里，我们发现家人、朋友和患者经常回到过去的快乐中寻求慰藉。我们听过以前最喜欢的电视节目的引用（“记住我爱露西露西爬进葡萄桶的那一集。. .?”），并紧紧抓住不远的过去令人欣慰的人物（在 Zoom 通话中，一个三岁孩子抓着一个 Ruth Bader Ginsburg 玩偶，这对她的父母来说是一种安慰，也是孩子本人）。我们渴望在过去的苦难中幸存下来的受人喜爱的人物——让我们感到安全和被理解的童年英雄，他们可以帮助我们保持世界上的美好，即使是在不断提醒坏人的情况下。为了满足这一需求，我们很高兴重新审视本期两位精神分析偶像的工作：唐纳德·温尼科特（Donald Winnicott）（他在两次世界大战的身体和情感上的恐怖中幸存下来并帮助他人幸存下来）和伊迪丝·雅各布森（他被纳粹告知了她的想法）。温尼科特的影响遍及整个精神分析界，并跨入时代精神；它为至少两位图画小说家 Alison Bechdel 的作品提供了信息（由 Rebecca Chaplan 在JAPA 62/4) 和 Sarah Boxer（在本期回顾）。雅各布森的工作——以及她的继任者对它的债务——鲜为人知。正如我们的审稿人所建议的那样，这可能部分是由于“完整的英语翻译缺少跨大西洋链接”。
