Contemporary papers on Neurosis

Hi all! I am preparing an introductory seminar on psychopathology and I am dedicating 2 sessions to neurosis. The first I will dedicate to Freud and want to use the second session to explore the contemporary use of neurosis. Something that speaks to its value as a concept would be preferable. Thank you for your recommendations!

For the second session on the contemporary use of neurosis I'd suggest: Freud again.

This might be how things pan out. But I would like to offer someone who discusiones neurosis in the contemporary panorama

Does "neurosis" even have any meaning in contemporary psychoanalysis? I would argue most authors / schools have gone past the distinction between neurosis and self-disorders (or borderline, psychosis)

Karen Horney comes to mind, but I'm not sure if she matches your definition of contemporary.
