Reviews and Endorsements
‘This book offers a remarkable set of new insights on the key issue of destructivity in Freud’s work. The topic is extremely pertinent for the current state of affairs in the world and highlights once again the extraordinary insights that Freud has provided through his writings. The panel of experts selected covers the topic in a lucid and deep manner. A must-read for psychoanalysts and possibly even more importantly for neuroscientists, sociologists and political scientists.’
-- Pierre Magistretti, Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and President of the International Brain Research Organisation
‘At a time when barbarism between men has returned, this decisive contribution by Marlène Belilos brings Freud’s thesis on the effects of the death instinct out of the alwaysmenacing darkness. She has successfully collected works that show the modernity of Freud’s thesis, and made it a tool to decipher the enigmas of our time.’
-- Jean-Daniel Matet, President of the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis
