    Abstract

    This paper explores the effects of the pursuit of security in individual life and in society, from a psychoanalytic perspective. It argues that the achievement of total security is a fantasy that can have destructive consequences. Living with insecurity in a rupture-repair cycle is a more realistic and tolerable position to adopt.
