Trauma is one of the hottest contemporary topics within
psychoanalysis, whilst many psychoanalysts are increasingly
interested in applying their skills outside the traditional setting
of the consulting room, especially in response to disasters, wars
and serious social issues. Psychoanalysis, Trauma, and Community
seeks to correct the misconceptions of what analysts do and how
they do it and debunk the stereotype of psychoanalysts stuck in
their offices plying their wares on the worried well. Bringing
together a group of eminent contributors, this volume considers how
psychoanalysis may best be expanded to help in social and community
settings, to understand these wider issues from a psychoanalytic
perspective, and provide clear clinical guidance and clinical
examples of how best to work in a wide variety of non-traditional
ways. The innovative work featured includes taking testimony,
in-situ interviewing, documentary film-making, social activism,
ethnic and political conflict mediation, on-site workshops as well
as direct clinical interventions. The reader is taken from the
Holocaust, Hiroshima and the Vietnam War to the Balkan Wars and
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, from the political violence of the
disappeared in Argentina to the devastation wrought by Hurricane
Katrina, and from chronic conditions of poverty in India to racism
in the post-Jim Crow South. Psychoanalysis, Trauma, and Community
will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and
anyone studying on the increasing number of trauma courses being
given today in universities. Lay readers with an interest in the
traumatic fallout as a result of chronic conditions or the myriad
disasters that occur globally will find this book illuminating. For
the non-specialist mental health professional, including
non-analytic psychotherapists, social workers and others who work
in the community, this book offers concrete advice on dealing with
intervention issues such as entry and integration, as well as on
management of multiple and complex trauma in a non-clinical
setting.
