"Crossing Borders - Integrating Differences" is a collection of the
papers delivered by psychoanalysts and analytic psychotherapists
from the various countries of Europe at the Fifth Conference of the
Adult Section of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP), in the year 2005. Held
in Dresden, this conference brought together almost 400 analytic
psychotherapists from Europe, all of them engaged within the EFPP,
through their various national societies, in the different
applications of psychoanalytic methods in the public healthcare
sector either in healthcare systems subject to public law or in
those run by the state for in-patient and out-patient treatment and
during rehabilitation. The theme of the conference Crossing Borders
- Integrating Differences required the speakers, as psychoanalytic
psychotherapists, to give thought to their daily task of crossing
borders and integrating differences. This book with all its papers
will stimulate the readers to cross borders: between theory and
practice, between research and everyday therapy, between
out-patient and in-patient psychotherapy, between the view of one s
own, the known and the culturally foreign. Yet it is only with an
awareness of these borders, an acknowledgement and respect for
them, that it will be possible to proceed towards integrating
differences, where this makes sense and appears
necessary.Contributors: Elitsur Bernstein; Christopher Bollas;

In dialogue with the most famous myth for the origin of different
languages - The Tower of Babel - A Psychoanalytic Exploration on
Sameness and Otherness: Beyond Babel? provides a series of timely
reflections on the themes of sameness and otherness from a
contemporary psychoanalytic perspective. How are we dealing with
communication and its difficulties, the confusion of tongues and
loss of common ground within a European context today? Can we move
beyond Babel? Confusion and feared loss of shared values and
identity are a major part of the daily work of psychoanalytic
psychotherapists. Bringing together an international range
psychoanalytic practitioners and researchers, the book is divided
into six parts and covers an array of resonant topics, including:
language and translation; cultural identity; families and children;
the cyber world; the psychotherapeutic process; and migration.
Whereas the quest for unity, which underpins the myth of Babel,
leads to mystification, simplification, and the exclusion of people
or things, multilingual communities necessitate mutual
understanding through dialogue. This book examines those factors
that further or threaten communication, aiming not to reduce, but
to gain complexity. It suggests that diversification enriches
communication and that, by relating to others, we can create
something new. As opposed to cultural and linguistic homogeneity,
Babel is not only a metaphor for mangled communication, alienation,
and distraction, it is also about the acceptance or rejection of
differences between self and other. This book will be of great
interest to psychoanalytic psychotherapists and researchers from a
wide variety of backgrounds.
