Download Reservation

APCS is an international, interdisciplinary organization promoting socially beneficial applications of clinical and theoretical psychoanalysis to important cultural issues. The 2010 conference addressed how psychoanalytic theory and practice guide and are guided by ideas about social justice and social responsibility—and what psychoanalysis can offer for a better understanding of social change. Attendees at this collegial meeting are interested in a wide range of topics, including cultural studies, feminism, gender studies, political psychology, and film studies. This is one of the best opportunities of the year to promote your titles on psychology, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic theory and practice, as well as on psychoanalytic approaches to society and politics, history, culture, economics, literature, philosophy and the arts.
