Description: Psychoanalytic work with socially traumatised patients is an increasingly popular vocation but remains extremely demanding and little covered in the literature. In Psychoanalysis and Holocaust Testimony a range of contributors draw upon their own clinical work and on research findings from work with seriously disturbed Holocaust survivors to illuminate how best to conduct clinical work with such patients in order to maximise the chances of a positive outcome and to reflect transferred trauma for the clinician. Psychoanalysis and Holocaust Testimony closely examines the phenomenology of destruction inherent in the discourse of extreme traumatization focusing on a particular case study: the recording of video testimonies from a group of extremely traumatized chronically hospitalized Holocaust survivors in psychiatric institutions in Israel. This case study demonstrates how society reacts to unwanted memories in media history and psychoanalysis but it also shows how psychotherapists and researchers try to approach the buried memories of the survivors through being receptive to shattered life narratives. Questions of bearing witness testimony the role of denial and the impact of traumatic narrative on society and subsequent generations are explored. A central thread of this book is the unconscious countertransference resistance to the trauma discourse which manifests itself in arenas that are widely apart such as genocide denial the "disappearance" of the hospitalized Holocaust survivors and of their life stories mishearing their testimonies and ultimately refusing them the diagnosis of "traumatic psychosis". Psychoanalysis and Holocaust Testimony provides an essential multidisciplinary guide to working psychoanalytically with severely traumatised patients. It will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and trauma studies therapists.
