Gabriel Rolón - El peligro del silencio

The Danger of Silence The death drive is silent; it destroys you in silence. Gabriel Rolón is a psychoanalyst, musician, and writer. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1961. He studied at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Buenos Aires. He graduated and specialized in psychoanalysis, a discipline he promotes through both his academic work and his active participation in the media. He was a speaker at the World Congress of Psychoanalysis in Mexico City and leads psychoanalytic training workshops at local and international universities. His first book, Stories from the Couch (2007), a psychoanalytic work, was an unusual bestseller in Argentina and was published in Germany, Spain, Uruguay, Bulgaria, Mexico, and Brazil—a phenomenon that was repeated with his second book, Crossed Words, and with the publication of The Sufferers, his first novel, which was translated into French, Portuguese, and Italian, and adapted into a film. The cases presented in his works are used to study psychoanalytic clinical practice at universities in Argentina, Paraguay, Spain, and Brazil.
