Doesn't appear to have sources to support notability. I couldn't find a link to the prior AfD discussion on Talk, but it looks like it was previously deleted? CorporateM (Talk) 03:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: In 2008 there was a Prod (rationale "Apparent COI creation, no sources given, none added in almost one year") so I don't think there was ever an AfD or deletion. An awkward one this, for me FA has been an influential publisher, both of its journal and books on psychoanalysis and related, but I recognise that evidencing notability is not going to be easy.

Free Association Books (UK) specializes in psychiatry and psychoanalysis; and one of their focuses within those fields is child and adolescent studies. They also have a strong backlist. The press continues to make available, in English translation, pertinent works in psychoanalysis. Cultural and sociological studies are growing fields for this press, whether they are producing books on the culture surrounding drug use, or representing child sexual abuse in the media, They also publish in gender studies, health and the intersection of technology and health, the last particularly through books by Michel Odent, a noted obstetrician.
 * Weak Delete: I've had a look for this publishing house among various resources, they don't seem particularly noticeable. ISBS says of them;
 * and I could find nothing further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SPACKlick (talk • contribs) 15:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep: on the evidence of the quotation given in SPACKlick's remarks above. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 23:58, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
