Hans Juergen Wirth, a leading German psychoanalyst and editor of
the journal Psychosozial, brings cultural breadth, historical
perspective, and analytic astuteness to bear in considering the
"collective trauma" of 9/11. His meditation, which brings into its
compass the psychic structure of suicide bombers and the
psycho-political causes and consequences of the Iraq war, is
especially insightful in considering the psychological meaning of
9/11 for the world outside the U.S. In complementary forays into
psyche and politics, Wirth explores the relationship of xenophobia
and violence; the story of Jewish analysts who emigrated from Nazi
Germany to the United States; the idea of man in psychoanalysis;
and the family dynamics that sustain the AIDS phobia. These
wonderfully illuminating essays, both cautionary and constructive,
show how clinical experience with the unconscious processes of
violence, traumatization, and destructiveness can be foundational
to new political strategies for dealing with collective violence.
