Gérard Haddad presents a book that extends his research on the Cain complex and examines the role of the Double in hatred of the other and in madness. Drawing on psychoanalysis and political philosophy, he investigates how this complex resurfaces on the political stage and what it reveals about contemporary violence. Psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and essayist, Haddad studied with Jacques Lacan and has long worked at the intersection of clinical thought and political reflection.
