Bringing together concepts from psychoanalysis with an attentive eye and A. Rubinstein popular wisdom, Sports on the Couch explores the psychology of athletes and those around them. As a product of our culture, sport enables a break for our minds, since it allows us to disconnect from internal as well as external realities. We immerse ourselves in the world of play, managing to let out tensions and liberate a great deal of aggression in a socially acceptable way.
Ricardo Alejandro Rubinstein is a doctor, psychiatrist, training psychoanalyst of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association, and full member of the International Psychoanalytical Association. He is also Professor at the Center of Psychoanalytical Teaching, and has published various works presented at Congresses in Argentina and overseas (Brazil, Colombia, USA, Spain, Holland, Italy and Greece). He is the director of Sportmind, a consulting firm that works with athletes and competition teams, where he also gives courses and seminars about sport topics. He has frequently appeared on radio and television, and written articles for the press and giving his views as a psychoanalyst about topics of general and social interest, but particularly in matters related to sport.
