"The authors present us with a wide and varied bibliography that includes not only established authors, whom we may call classics, but also authors who are usually referred to as link psychoanalysts. This book leaves us with many questions concerning new families, what we mean by family, what clinical changes may unfold, and what are the features of the world that is opening before us, a world full of uncertainty. It is hence open to the future. While we can face this future with a wealth of knowledge already at our disposal, the authors encourage us to avoid being constrained by it."-from the Prologue by Janine Puget"In the light of the current transformations of hegemonic codes, how could the device created by psychoanalysis more than one hundred years ago remain the same? This excellent choral work, which brings clinical practice to the fore, offers a path that poses questions whose answers will be found in the encounter with the readers."-from the Foreword by Virginia Ungar, M.D., President, International Psychoanalytical Association
