In his introduction to Soul Murder, Dr. Shengold confesses that he is 'fond of meandering designs; this book proceeds more by association than by orderly progression.' In his acknowledgements he states that in his present book, Soul Murder, and in his previous book, Halo in the Sky (1988), he has 'published most of the ideas and discoveries that have been derived from my practice of psychoanalysis over the past thirty years,' and elsewhere that unspecified portions of this book have already appeared as articles in four different psychoanalytic journals.
