His scholarly work has received numerous distinctions and awards, and he is the author of some forty articles in the fields of literature, cinema, psychopathology and psychoanalysis, published in French, English, Greek and Portuguese.

As Dr. Evzonas mentions in his talk, Laplanche’s work has been translated into English via psychoanalyst Jonathan House and his publishing agency, Unconscious in Translation.
