Psychoanalytic work with socially traumatised patients is an
increasingly popular vocation, but remains extremely demanding and
little covered in the literature. In Psychoanalysis and Holocaust
Testimony, a range of contributors draw upon their own clinical
work, and on research findings from work with seriously disturbed
Holocaust survivors, to illuminate how best to conduct clinical
work with such patients in order to maximise the chances of a
positive outcome, and to reflect transferred trauma for the
clinician. Psychoanalysis and Holocaust Testimony closely examines
the phenomenology of destruction inherent in the discourse of
extreme traumatization, focusing on a particular case study: the
recording of video testimonies from a group of extremely
traumatized, chronically hospitalized Holocaust survivors in
psychiatric institutions in Israel. This case study demonstrates
how society reacts to unwanted memories, in media, history, and
psychoanalysis - but it also shows how psychotherapists and
researchers try to approach the buried memories of the survivors,
through being receptive to shattered life narratives. Questions of
bearing witness, testimony, the role of denial, and the impact of
traumatic narrative on society and subsequent generations are
explored. A central thread of this book is the unconscious
countertransference resistance to the trauma discourse, which
manifests itself in arenas that are widely apart, such as genocide
denial, the "disappearance" of the hospitalized Holocaust survivors
and of their life stories, mishearing their testimonies and
ultimately refusing them the diagnosis of "traumatic psychosis".
Psychoanalysis and Holocaust Testimony provides an essential,
multidisciplinary guide to working psychoanalytically with severely
traumatised patients. It will appeal to psychoanalysts,
psychoanalytic psychotherapists and trauma studies therapists.
