The analytic literature has heretofore been silent about the issues
inherent in the nuclear threat. As a groundbreaking exploration of
new psychological terrain, Psychoanalysis and the Nuclear Threat
will function as a source book for what, it is hoped, will be the
continuing effort of analysts and other mental health professionals
to explore and engage in-depth nuclear issues. This volume provides
panoramic coverage of the dynamic and clinical considerations that
follow from life in the nuclear age. Of special interest are
chapters deling with the developmental consequences of the nuclear
threat in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and those
exploring the technical issues raised by the occurrence in analytic
and psychotherapeutic hours of material related to the nuclear
threat. Additional chapters bring a psychoanalytic perspective to
bear on such issues as the need to have enemies; silence as the
"real crime"; love, work, and survival in the nuclear age; the
relationship of the nuclear threat to issues of "mourning and
melancholia"; apocalyptic fantasies; the paranoid process;
considerations of the possible impact of gender on the nuclear
threat; and the application of psychoanalytic thinking to nuclear
arms strategy. Finally, the volume includes the first case report
in the English language - albeit a brief psychotherapy - involving
the treatment of a Hiroshima survivor. A noteworthy event in
psychoanalytic publishing, Psychoanalysis and the Nuclear Threat
betokens analytic engagement with the most pressing political and
moral issue of our time, a cultivating of Freud's "soft voice of
the intellect" in an area where it is desperately needed.
