'THE STATE OF THREAT AND PSYCHOANALYSIS : From the Uncanny that Structures
to the Uncanny that Alienates'
by Janine Puget

Extraordinarily interesting psychoanalytic reflections on the effects
of the right-wing violence (1974-76) and dictatorship (1976-83) in
Argentina on the inner worlds of people in an analytic group in
Buenos Aires. It was originally published in French under the title
_Violence d'etat et psychanalyse_. Paris: Bordas, 1989. This essay is
chapter one of the collection. Her interpretations and conclusions
are of considerable general interest. Translated by Trista Selous;
copy-edited and scanned by Robert M. Young
