In this prescient and sensitive volume, Aida Alayarian looks at how
psychoanalysis in group settings can benefit refugees who have
experienced trauma, with an express focus on transference and
countertransference. Group Analysis for Refugees Experiencing
Trauma offers a comprehensive overview of trauma from a
psychoanalytic perspective, before delving into the nuance of
trauma experienced by asylum seekers, refugees and those who have
gone through forced migration. Through clinical vignettes,
Alayarian highlights the importance of the resilience that can be
brought about from group sessions and shared experience in helping
to heal the wounds of trauma. She looks at the vital role of social
injustice in this trauma and shows how this can be directly applied
to work with other groups experiencing human rights violations,
destitution, and loss. She shows how looking at relational patterns
as a means of understanding conscious, unconscious, and
subconscious thought processes can provide essential breakthroughs
with patients, as well as the importance of paying close attention
to countertransference to avoid a breakdown of the clinical
relationship. Using psychoanalytic theories from intercultural
perspectives to show the multidimensional nature of work with
trauma patients, this book is essential reading for psychoanalysts,
psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health experts
working with refugees and patients experiencing trauma.
