History Flows through Us introduces a new dialogue between leading
historians and psychoanalysts and provides essential insights into
the nature of historical trauma. The contributors - German
historians, historians of the Holocaust and psychoanalysts of
different disciplinary backgrounds - address the synergy between
history and psychoanalysis in an engaging and accessible manner.
Together they develop a response to German history and the
Holocaust that is future-oriented and timely in the presence of
today's ethnic hatreds. In the process, they help us to appreciate
the emotional and political legacy of history's collective crimes.
This book illustrates how history and the psyche shape one another
and the degree to which history flows through all of us as human
beings. Its innovative cross-disciplinary approach draws on the
work of the historian and psychoanalyst Thomas Kohut. The volume
includes an extended dialogue with Kohut in which he reflects on
the study of German history and the Holocaust at the intersection
of history and psychoanalysis. This book demonstrates that the
fields of history and psychoanalysis are each concerned with the
role of empathy and with the study of memory and narrative. History
Flows through Us will appeal to general readers, students and
professionals in cultural history, Holocaust and trauma studies,
sociology, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychology.
