Editorial

This, the first part of the nineteenth edition of Existential Analysis, opens with Mike Harding's Talk from the Chair 'James Joyce's Concept of the Underthought: A Reflection on Some Similarities with the Work of Wittgenstein'. Readers may be glad to have the text of this talk from the 19^th Annual Conference of the Society for Existential Analysis. The Journal has featured a number of papers by contributors making connections of various types between therapy and literature, and this latest piece continues our tradition. Among an array of exciting and thought-provoking papers, Daniel Sousa's might be mentioned as a fascinating engagement with another art form – that of painting. The editors are also pleased to be able to include a paper by Marc Medina which contributes to the debate on existential-phenomenological perspectives on human sexuality previously enjoined in the third and eighth editions of this Journal.

In the interest of experimenting with variations on the standard single-author paper, we include a three-way conversation, or 'trialogue', between Dr Simon du Plock and Prof Nedra Lander and Prof Danielle Nahon from Ottawa, Canada, which seeks to illuminate their values-based 'Integrity Model' of existential therapy.

Finally, the editors would like to welcome Dr Kirk Schneider (whose work will be familiar to many subscribers) as a new member of our increasingly international Editorial Board.
