Judith Gurewich, Publisher of Other Press, writes about why she no longer publishes psychoanalytic books:

Today, the most meaningful and revealing “analysis” takes place in good fiction and creative non-fiction. We have moved into a new era, when the old psychological insights have begun to feel like those antibiotics that become ineffectual because of bacterial resistance. On the other hand, literature, by the nature of its calling, is continually forced to harbor elements of surprise, which in the best case grant it the power to transform its readers, leading them to new levels of enlightenment. The shift from psychoanalysis to literature was therefore a logical one to make. Freud himself would have agreed, since he believed that literature is always ahead of its time when it ponders the mysteries of the human soul. However, I don’t forget my analytic training when I edit my authors. I have found that goading them to be bolder and to the point, and face head-on what they may be afraid to confront, allows them to produce pithier works, deeper and more absorbing to read.

I’m not sure the shift “from psychoanalysis to literature,” if it’s happening, isn’t a shift back to literature, but in any case, food for thought.
