LEAR, Jonathan. Working through the end of civilization. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2007, vol.41, n.1, pp.137-153. ISSN 0486-641X.

This is an account of how a civilization works through the problems it faces when it is threatened with destruction. Psychoanalytic ideas play a crucial role in explaining how a creative response is possible. Conversely, by focusing on this threat psychoanalysis can discover new challenges for its own conceptual development.

Palabras clave : Conceptual development; Work through; Culture; Civilization; Imagination; Loss of identity.
