Psychoanalysis, Law, and Society explores the connections between psychoanalysis and law, arguing that these are required not only for conceptual or theoretical needs in both fields, but also for the vast range of practical implications and possibilities their association enables.The book is divided into four parts, each addressing a unique example of the interaction of legal and psychoanalytic work. It begins with matters that are as global as they are local: the challenge of caring for and aiding migrants, refugees, families, and individuals; the question of planetary survival; of the mistreatment and violence in military and secular conflicts; and the projects and processes of international governance. The middle two parts focus on the very wide-ranging problems of social violence as these target women and people of diversity. Then, on the penetration of law into the most intimate aspects of family life: adoption, divorce, child custody, and complex parental arrangements. In the last part, the contributions use this double vision (legal and psychoanalytic) perspective to explore basic processes in social and legal life.Psychoanalysis, Law, and Society will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as legal scholars.

Anxiety, Psychoanalysis and Law examines the challenges of maintaining a psychoanalytic stance when working in chaotic times, with international contributors reflecting not only on their work with severely disturbed patients, but also during times of massive disturbances in society.Presented in five parts, the book considers war, violence, society, pandemics and the family, with chapters reflecting on environmental destruction, new technologies, women’s healthcare, digital media and racial injustices. This cutting-edge collection also considers whether it is possible to make sense of these ambiguous and confusing times by looking at the issues from individual clinical work with patients who have had contact with the judicial process – from the bottom up.Anxiety, Psychoanalysis and Law will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, as well as psychiatrists, psychologists and social and political scientists interested in global anxiety and the challenges facing society.
