New paradigms need new concepts such as the term Òpandemic discontentÓ, contained in the title of the present book.    The concept of Òpandemic discontentsÓ refers to FreudÕs ÒCivilization and its DiscontentsÓ  in order to focus on those anthropological mutations, including  the expansion of technologies and the mutations of ecology, which represent irreversible fractures which have shifted a part of humanity in the face of  the fragility of the social and cultural structures on which, as Ka‘s writes, the permanence of a civilization is based, or even the human species itself.

The section ÒWhen the psychoanalyst is the patientÓ contains the memoir written by Pietro Roberto Goisis, a Milan-based psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who survived the coronavirus.
