Dear Colleagues

I'm pleased to announce publication of the first edition of Psychoanalysis
Culture & Society (formerly JPCS) in conjunction with Palgrave Macmillan
Journals. Details of the journal, free access to the first edition and
subscription details can be found at our website:

http://www.palgrave-journals.com/pcs/index.html

Aims and Scope
Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society is an international print journal
publishing original, refereed articles. The journal critically addresses the
intersection between psychoanalysis and the social world and explores the
roles psychoanalysis might play in bringing about social justice and
progressive social change. Articles focus on the political or social
implications of their topic. PCS publishes both clinical and academic papers
and welcomes relevant contributions from all disciplines and all
psychoanalytic schools of thought. All submissions—whether original
articles, key concepts, field notes (short commentaries on international or
domestic political/cultural issues and events), book reviews, or letters to
the editors—should address the unconscious roots or consequences of social
problems, inequalities, and injustice.
