In Using Psychoanalysis to Understand and Address AI Bias: Refractions in the Digital Mirror, Karyne E. Messina uses a psychoanalytic lens to explore the subconscious forces driving AI development.This book provides a unique psychoanalytic framework for understanding how AI systems internalize and amplify the unconscious biases of their human creators. Through detailed case studies in clinical healthcare, predictive policing, and automated hiring, Messina introduces concepts such as projection, splitting and projective identification. She illustrates how these psychological mechanisms - originally developed to explain human behavior - are inadvertently built into the logic of AI, creating systems that replicate societal inequities on a massive scale.Using Psychoanalysis to Understand and Address AI Bias will be of interest to all readers interested in how AI can benefit from psychoanalytic insight, including psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and academics and scholars of AI ethics and technology policy.

Madness and the Political Divide draws on psychiatry and ethics in an attempt to understand and bridge the political divide.Allen R. Dyer explores meanings of “madness” in different contexts, from the medical world to a contemporary society of “alternate realities.” Underlying the denial of reality is the fear of unpleasant realities: existential threats such as global climate change, pandemics, and war increase anxiety and our vulnerability to the false promises of authoritarian leadership and to the erosion of democracy. With reference to psychoanalytic theory, psychology, ethics, and philosophy, Dyer explores how we can balance emotions with reasoned action, not overwhelmed by fear nor underwhelmed by denial.Madness and the Political Divide will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and those in other mental health disciplines. It will be highly relevant for academics and scholars in philosophy, history, and literature, and for readers interested in ethics, justice, and human values.

A Psychoanalytic Framework for Civic Renewal: Reimagining Democracy from the Ground Up offers a compelling and original thesis: that the global crisis of democracy is not a purely political or economic problem but a deeply rooted psychological and relational one.The book synthesizes key psychoanalytic and psychological concepts to argue that the health of a democracy is directly tied to the citizenry’s capacity for mentalization—the foundational ability to understand ourselves and others in terms of our inner thoughts, feelings, and intentions. It methodically builds its argument, beginning with the developmental origins of mentalization in infancy and linking it to attachment theory and the cognitive function of theory of mind. It then expands this framework to the societal level, demonstrating how a collective failure to mentalize leads to the collapse of epistemic trust and a dangerous regression to primitive psychological defenses like splitting and "us vs. them" thinking. The work presents a powerful, integrated solution: a new educational model that cultivates not only mentalization and its core social–emotional skills but also the complementary intellectual capacity for critical thinking.This book serves as a vital resource for educators, policy makers, and mental health professionals, offering an interdisciplinary framework that bridges the divide between abstract political theory and practical, psychological solutions.
