Volkan The International Dialogue Initiative (IDI) is a private,
international, multidisciplinary group comprised of psychoanalysts,
academics, diplomats, and other professionals who bring a
psychologically informed perspective to the study and amelioration
of societal conflict. It aims to provide a reflective space to
enable an understanding of how the emotional and historical
background of hostile relations - often related to trauma - is
being experienced in the present. By doing so, antagonists can
overcome resistances to dialogue and facilitate the discovery of
peaceful solutions to intergroup problems. This book brings
together key members of the IDI to present the theory and practice
of the important work they do. At its heart, the book holds the
idea that, while traumatic experiences may happen to an individual
or a family, they also affect society and large-group identity over
long periods of time. In that way, trauma plays out between
generations and between countries. The book is divided into three
parts: theory, application, and methodology. Trauma is the key
thread running throughout and the distinguished contributors
investigate healing, dehumanisation, memory, the pandemic, war,
terrorism, identity, culture, the law, justice, and religion, among
many other fascinating topics. The authors bring in case studies
from all over the world, including the United States, Northern
Ireland, Russia, Israel, Turkey, Germany, Egypt, and Palestine. To
make sense of these, they draw on a wide range of approaches: group
relations theory, group analytic theory, psychoanalysis,
large-group psychology, psychodynamic theory, psychology,
economics, sociology, political science, history, journalism, and
the law, to name but a few. This must-read book brings theory to
vivid life and brings hope that our fractured world can learn to
heal.
