Psychoanalytic Studies on Dysphoria: The False Accord in the Divine
Symphony depicts the profound dysphoria afflicting certain
individuals, and includes the author's own personal experience of
this as a German Jewish child during the Holocaust. Marion M.
Oliner explores the impact of catastrophic events on the lives of
individuals and their descendants from a broadly psychoanalytic
perspective. The book focuses on the interplay between the
experience and the unconscious meaning attributed to the trauma,
and the ways in which patients may feel guilt, and blame themselves
for the events and effects of their trauma. Drawing on the work of
Freud and Winnicott, and with emphasis on the traumas suffered
during the Second World War, Oliner offers new ways of
understanding how resistant to treatment such traumas can be, and
how the analyst can understand the experiences. The chapters span
the evolution undergone in the nearly four decades of practice by
the author. The book references a range of works including some
taken from the German and French psychoanalytic literature, some
never published in English. Taken together they aim at keeping the
vitality of psychoanalysis without idealization, while discarding
concepts whose essence is static, and therefore unhelpful.
Psychoanalytic Studies on Dysphoria will appeal to psychoanalysts
as well as other mental health professionals working with
self-defeating behavior as a result of trauma.
