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.

This book examines the circumstances that lead up to sexual boundary violations (SBVs) in psychotherapy. It also considers how such behavior affects clients and therapists, as well as the broader effects on colleagues, institutions, families, and others. Numerous case illustrations are included, and the editors emphasize the importance of education and consultation with mentors and peers in helping therapists maintain a professional frame for the therapeutic relationship, which ensures a safe environment for clients.

Wir freuen uns, mit diesem Band eine Ubersicht uber den derzeitigen Stand der Psychologie der Frau prasentieren zu konnen, der auch neue re psychoanalytische Ansatze integriert und der Entwicklung der in dieser Reihe geplanten "Psychoanalyse der Geschlechterdifferenz" - wie wir glauben - wichtige Anstosse gibt. Er beginnt mit einer Auseinandersetzung mit Freuds Weiblichkeitstheorie, um sich an schliessend der weiblichen Entwicklung zuzuwenden, wie Frauen sie erleben und mit ihren Worten beschreiben. Auf diese Weise horen wir von einer weiblichen Existenz, die sich eher in der Beziehung als in der Autonomie verwirklicht; die sich massgeblich auf die Mutter Tochter-Beziehung stutzt, und deren Geschlechtsidentitat mit dem Eintritt in den Odipuskomplex in ihrem Kern bereits entwickelt ist. Wir erfahren etwas von der im Vergleich mit Mannern verschiedenen Art des Umgangs mit Fragen der Moral; von dem Zusammenhang zwischen "weiblichem Masochismus" und "idealer Liebe," der hier als eine wesentliche Grundlage der weiblichen Entwicklung angese hen wird; von den sonst eher stillschweigend ubergangenen Erfah rungen der alternden Frau; von der Schwierigkeit der Frauen im Umgang mit Autonomie und beruflichem Erfolg, und vom Verstand nis der lesbischen Entwicklung unter einem anderen Gesichtspunkt als dem der klassischen Theorie. Schliesslich werden auch das Tun der Psychoanalytikerin unter einem geschlechts spezifischen Aspekt un tersucht und Unterschiede zu dem des mannlichen Analytikers analysiert und begrundet."
