This volume brings together contributions from psychologists and psychoanalysts Lucila Edelman and Diana Kordon on the psychosocial effects of the Argentine dictatorship; Nora Levinton on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; Anna Miñarro on the Civil War; María Reneses on collective action and contemporary discontents; and Mariana Wikinski on the figure of the witness and the power of testimony.

In the words of the coordinator, Professor Almudena Hernando: "In this book, we will only address a few cases from the countless variations of possible traumatic situations, but I trust that they can serve to demonstrate that it is necessary to bring to light what lies hidden in the basements of any level of human construction in order to abandon the traumatizing and sickening drift we are in; that this visibility requires collective dynamics of listening and mutual support; and that when analyzing the subjective, the political is always also analyzed, in a return to what Kate Millet pointed out so many years ago.
