English

By disconnecting marriage and kinship, sexuality, reproduction, identity, and the physiological body, society is growing increasingly complex. Is it changing its identifiers? How do individuals position themselves? Can psychoanalysis, and Jungian psychoanalysis in particular, grasp the modern complexity of multiple kinship, for analysands seeking meaning? The purpose of this article is to stimulate reflection; the responses are in the yet-to-come.
