‘This book should be required reading for all therapists. Its contributors put words to the unspeakable and bear witness to the unbearable. No human being can fully represent the horrors and continuing psychological depredations of war, and yet these essays manage to capture the precariousness and preciousness of our existence, the power of our feelings about place, and the critical role of our moral center of gravity in the face of evil. With clarity, passion, and brilliance, these authors help us see that although war-adapted psychotherapies can help only in modest ways, they matter profoundly.’Nancy McWilliams, PhD, ABPP, visiting professor Emerita, Rutgers Graduate School of Applied & Professional PsychologyThe urgency of this book, both for those who live under conditions of war and for psychoanalysis itself, cannot be overstated. In this volume’s efforts to un-silence, in real time, the consequences of the ongoing Russian effort to annihilate individuals, culture and country and is a quintessential antidote to war’s dehumanizing force and demanding of us that we embrace the possibilities inherent in our profession. The valuable opportunity this volume provides melds theory, practice and personal experience to expand our clinical, conceptual and moral capacities to counter the violent occupation that so much of our world is seemingly authorized by fascism’s rise to perpetuate. There is a testimony here to the isomorphic interchange between psychic and large-group catastrophe, but there is also, in this series of essays, much hope and inspiration in the authors’ persistence in speaking psychoanalytically-informed truth, to which it behooves us to listen, despite all.Nancy Burke, PhD, ABPP, clinical professor, Northwestern University; Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis
