ABSTRACT

Attentive to the growing risk that the nuclear arms race represents for the entire planet, Segal has, from the 1980s on, campaigned actively in the anti-nuclear movement which, in Britain as well as in other countries, aims to shake out of their apathy not only the general public but also those in government circles. In that sense, she went back to the political and social vocation that she had given up when, as a young student, she chose to take up medicine then psychoanalysis.
