Abstract

This article attempts to delineate social pain or the pain of the social–a suffering that comes from human relations as a collective. I attempt to find the word, the signifier, that can transmit this experience in clinical practice, including senses, affects and intuition. I also contribute my clinical work in times of sociopolitical violence to this pursuit.
