I am thrilled to announce that my first book will be launching with Routledge Psychology in just three weeks.
You can pre-order the book and get a discount through their website.
While traditional feminist readings on antagonism have pivoted around the sole axis of s*x and/or gender, a broader and intersectional approach to antagonism is much needed; this book offers an innovative, feminist, and discursive reading on the Lacanian concept of s*xual position as a way to problematize the concepts of political antagonism and political subjects.
Can Lacanian psychoanalysis offer new grounds for feminist politics? This discursive mediation of Lacan's work presents a new theoretical framework upon which to articulate proposals for intersectional political theory. The first part of this book develops the theoretical framework, and the second part applies it to the construction of woman’s identity in European politics and economy. It concludes with notes for a feminist political and economic praxis through community currencies and municipalism.
The interdisciplinary approach of this book will appeal to scholars interested in the fields of psychoanalysis, feminisms, and political philosophy as well as multidisciplinary scholars interested in discourse theory, s*xuality and gender studies, cultural studies, q***r theory, and continental philosophy. Students at master's and PhD level will also find this a useful feminist introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis, discourse, and gender.

Excited to announce that the book "Therapy and the Postpartum Woman" has been honored as a "Classic Edition" by Routledge which means it will be republished in its original form with an updated introduction and foreword. I am proud that this book has endured throughout the years as a reliable and supportive resource for both clinicians and moms.
And thank you 💜 Antenatal & Postnatal Psychology Network Chris Raines Consulting and Susan Dowd Stone for your awesome reviews and continuing support of my work.

How can we evaluate the level of "biological" or "cognitive plausibility" of an artificial system?
In the book Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds (2021, Routledge/ Taylor & Francis), link:
www.routledge.com/9781138207950), Antonio Lieto shows how - despite the enormous amount of literature devoted to such a theme - a real methodological and practical operationalization of what such expressions really meant was lacking. This has led to a huge amount of technical literature targeting this expression in a way that is too much ambiguous and vaguely defined to have a scientific .
To fill this gap, Lieto (
https://www.routledge.com/authors/i20936-antonio-lieto) proposes the "Minimal Cognitive Grid" (): a simple methodological tool that can be used to practically project and compare different kinds of artificial systems along the “accuracy” dimension.
This tool - compared with other evaluation frameworks developed in the context of and (e.g. the Turing Test and its variations, the Newell Test for a Theory of Cognition, the Winograd Schema Challenge etc.) - provides a non-subjective, graded, evaluation of the output generated by an artificial system.
In addition, it allows both a quantitative and qualitative analysis about the biological/cognitive adequacy (if any) and the human-like performances of a given system (in both narrow and unrestricted tasks).
