Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems, is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year, leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloqium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyzes points of controversy in the use, and abuse of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. Law and Psychology, the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, contains a broad range of essays by scholars interested in the interactions between law and psychology. The volume includes studies of jury trials in terrorism cases, psychological evidence in family law cases, child witness testimony and the role of psychology in punishment theory.

We perceive color everywhere and on everything that we encounter in daily life. Color science has progressed to the point where a great deal is known about the mechanics, evolution, and development of color vision, but less is known about the relation between color vision and psychology. However, color psychology is now a burgeoning, exciting area and this Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of emerging theory and research. Top scholars in the field provide rigorous overviews of work on color categorization, color symbolism and association, color preference, reciprocal relations between color perception and psychological functioning, and variations and deficiencies in color perception. The Handbook of Color Psychology seeks to facilitate cross-fertilization among researchers, both within and across disciplines and areas of research, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in color psychology in both theoretical and applied areas of study.

Quels rapports entre les tortures que s'inflige le patient mélancolique, l'enfant « facilement cruel » avec les animaux ou ses petits camarades et « l'amour impitoyable », dont parle Winnicott, entre le nourrisson et sa mère ? Quels rapports entre les tourments qu'impose le violeur à sa victime, les meurtres des tueurs en série et ceux des génocidaires du Rwanda ? Quels récits faire de la cruauté – par exemple de la cruauté nazie, comme prétend le faire Jonathan Littell dans Les Bienveillantes – sans la redoubler ? Bien qu'elle traverse l'œuvre de Freud sous des formes variées, la notion de cruauté n'appartient pas au vocabulaire de la psychanalyse. Pourtant, à l'énigme de la cruauté, figure d'un mal radical qui décourage la pensée, des psychanalystes apportent ici un éclairage original. Violence inutilisable, haine superflue ou indifférence extrême, interne ou exercée à même le corps de l'autre, la cruauté s'avère paradoxale : elle révèle à la fois l'intime du sexuel et une dynamique pulsionnelle distincte. Seule la pitié, ou la compassion, peut y faire barrage – mais une vraie pitié, celle qui aurait fait l'épreuve de la cruauté : la sienne, et celle des autres.
