Clio’s Psyche Call for Papers on
Psychoanalysis/Psychology of Fear
Spring 2023 Issue (Papers due 01/15/2023)
Some possible psychoanalytic/approaches include:
- Why does fear abound in our personal lives, politics, country, society, and world?
- Why not write about fear in your life, and its ramifications, as is Clio’s editor?
- How do we process fear rather than become immobilized by it or using it to find or make enemies and go to war?
- What are the gender differences in the processing of fear in the U.S. and elsewhere?
- Is the enormous anxiety of our society of rapid technological change based upon our fears?
- How do you deal with a patient’s anxiety and fear being so great that they may kill themselves?
- Why are the culture wars (abortion, gay marriage, gender, etc.) based so much on fear of change?
- In “gun crazy America,” do we unconsciously engender fear by encouraging gun ownership?
- Are personal and societal enemies essential to maintain a national and individual identity?
- Why did George W. Bush find it strange to lose the Soviet enemy and then start a needless war?
- Did the Soviet Union collapse because Gorbachev saw the U.S. as a model rather than enemy?
- To what extent has the COVID-19 pandemic enlarged our fears and affected our behavior?
- Why not write a comparative article on the impact of the Spanish Flu and the current pandemic?
- How does fear related to hope, early childhood, and good/bad/troubled interpersonal relations?
- Why not write an anxiety/fear-focused book review of a famous or important person?
We seek articles from 1,000-2,500 words—including a 25-word abstract, 7-10 keywords, and your brief biography ending in your e-mail address—by 01/15/2023. Case studies are encouraged. One or two longer articles up to 3,500 words may be accepted. Commentaries with keywords and a biography on the symposium articles by Rozentsvit and Elovitz should be a maximum of 1,200 words. Send articles to .
