Preview A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Social Trauma: The Inner Worlds of Outer Realities
“This is an impressive book of high relevance for the general audience. Social traumata – from marital and family violence, from rapes to warfare – burrow deeply into psychic structure, personal and group identity, into our ability to learn and love and to enjoy new experiences. Violence makes people silent. Primo Levi’s horrific experience was that no ear wanted to listen what had been done to him in Auschwitz. Being silenced is a new social trauma. This book valuably contributes to the task to open public reception and therapeutic ears to what has been silenced – it’s a must-read for the future of the helping professions.” Michael B. Buchholz, Professor, International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin, Germany “First delivered in 2018, these selected psychoanalytic reflections on the problem of social trauma are needed even more urgently in 2022. Focused on the clinical aspects of working with persons who have experienced the acute pain of forced immigration, separation, and loss (and many more), in both individual and group forms of treat- ment, this book will be necessary to everyone engaged in psychoan- alytic psychotherapy – as a guideline, as inspiration, and as a source of support.” Aleksandar Dimitrijevic, PhD, International Psychoanalytic University, Berlin, Germany A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Social Trauma A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Social Trauma presents a thorough intro- duction to social trauma from a range of perspectives, exploring several key themes, specific causes and symptoms and clinical interventions. With chapters from a diverse range of authors, the book considers social trauma as it relates to stories and history, group identity, the consulting room, migration, and post-traumatic conditions. These topics are explored via a range of frames, including individual therapy, group analysis, social dream matrix, large groups, case studies, narrative recollections, and cin- ematographic expression. The book also considers the implications of new technology in causing and treating social trauma. A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Social Trauma will be of great interest to psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and in training, psychoana- lysts, and psychoanalytically informed professionals working with trauma.
