ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
In this major study, the author addresses the need for new psychoanalytical models to cope with a moral crisis of values: a crisis resulting from a breakdown of values, a loss of ideology and deteriorating beliefs. She offers ways of coping with "new maladies" manifested in modern patients.
USER REVIEWS
"One of the most renowned researchers in the field of Social Studies, Kristeva has gone deeply in the facts of the soul in our modern world, exercising her acute views on the disturbs that affect the human soul. The two halves of the book: The clinic and History lead us through a path full of novelties regarding the presence of man/woman in this world and how this very world causes so many new diseases...not only in the body, but mainly in the soul of them. Lacan and Freud would be surprised to see how their works were so consitently revisited."
