developed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Using the
language of psychoanalysis and system psychodynamic thinking, it
seeks to find a way to think about and understand the post-pandemic
world from an international perspective. Motivated by a desire to
express what is hidden, dangerous, and difficult to express, this
book takes us on a trail. It starts with disquiet, disorientation,
and loss in Part I. Through attempts to make sense of it all, a
clear, albeit meandering and dangerous, path to follow is created,
which snakes throughout the book. Part II takes a closer look at
despair and resilience and pairs them through balancing power with
vulnerability. Part III delves into the realm of psychoanalysis, to
seek solace, or at least a deeper understanding of the phenomenon
of the pandemic, and examines how we have sown our own
environmental destruction. The final part offers a glimpse into the
post-Covidian world and the longer and deeper impact of Covid upon
our bodies, relationships, constructs, and civilisation. The volume
ends on a trail of each chapter's essence, taking the reader from
shock, disorientation, and fear through mobilisation of resilience,
a realisation of the enormity of the changes humanity faces, and an
attempt to comprehend these processes as a guide to this permanent
"new normal". All those with a desire to understand the way the
world has changed will want to explore The Covid Trail.
