About
Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society is an international 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, field notes (short commentaries on international or domestic political/cultural issues and events), key concepts, book reviews, or letters to the editors—should address the unconscious roots or consequences of social problems, inequalities, and injustice. PCS is the journal of the Association for the Psychoanalysis of Culture & Society (www.apcsweb.net).

Submission guidelines
The editorial board welcomes articles, commentaries and shorter papers that address the intersection between psychoanalysis, culture, and society with particular reference to social and political issues, social justice and praxis. We also welcome papers that address the relationship between the social world and clinical practice. We are interested in ongoing research and as such we regularly publish field notes. Occasionally we publish articles that address key psychoanalytic concepts and the way in which these ideas have an impact on everyday life.
Articles and key psychoanalytic concepts should not normally exceed 8,000 words in length, including references, and, where they are used, endnotes. Field notes should not exceed 3,000 words, and book reviews should range from 750-1,500 words. All articles are subject to peer review and the final decision to publish rests with the editors.
Presentation
All manuscripts should be submitted in electronic form as a Word compatible file. As the journal operates a blind-review policy author names should be listed only on the cover sheet of the manuscript and user names should be removed from ‘Tools’, ‘Options’, ‘User information’ in Word.
Please indicate whether your submission is an article, key concept, field note, or book review and send as a virus checked e-mail attachment with an accurate word count to pcs@palgrave.com.
