Biography
Ricardo Alejandro Rubinstein is a doctor, psychiatrist, training psychoanalyst of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association, and full member of the International Psychoanalytical Association. He has also been a Professor at the Center of Psychoanalytical Teaching. He is the author of Sports on the Couch (Routledge, 2017), which is also available in Spanish and Romanian.
'Psychoanalysis will grow by working at the interfaces with the other cultural realms in which we practice it. Going beyond its limits or boundaries especially challenges the prejudices surrounding moving away from "caricatures" and the "typical cure", and allows us to explore uncharted territories... Starting from the clinical work in its different modalities, the topics examined here are fanaticism, prejudice, violence, discrimination (especially racism), education, politics in the world, among others. I personally know the author and am well aware of his wide-ranging interests. To be presented in English and in a prestigious collection will bring him closer to readers in many countries.'
Dr Abel Mario Fainstein, Former President of Argentine Psychoanalytic Association (APA) and Former President of Latin American Psychoanalytic Federation (FEPAL)
