The book "Psychoanalysis at the Crossroads: An International Perspective" edited by Fred Busch features papers from various authors with different perspectives on the future of psychoanalysis. Busch emphasizes the importance of lively debate and challenging one's own thought process in order to find common ground. The book covers topics such as controversies in psychoanalytic technique and theory, social issues, and struggles within psychoanalytic institutes. While the book lacks a clear "lively debate" due to the standalone nature of each chapter, it offers valuable insights into the diverse perspectives within psychoanalysis.
