OLIVEIRA, Luiz Eduardo Prado de. Politics, the Other of Psychoanalysis: terror and radicalization. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.4, pp. 63-74. ISSN 0486-641X.

In light of recent terrorist attacks, the author's purpose is to show how psychoanalysts have long studied the issue of widespread terror. His paper examines from the rise of Nazism to the Vietnam War, from the horror that women and children experienced when attacked by bombs to psychoanalytical therapies in which fear is established. Following this path, this paper mentions authors who tackled terror, authors from whose ideas Psychoanalysis might benefit by enabling the understanding of current issues when facing manifest ways of social terror.

Keywords : social terror; merchandise; murder; women; children; Psychoanalysis.
