Description
History Beyond Trauma explores how transference and countertransference are affected by experiences of social catastrophe. Over nearly thirty years of working with patients, Francoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudilliere have uncovered the ways in which these dynamics can be understood to facilitate healing.
The authors present vivid examples of clinical work with severely traumatized patients, drawing on a wide range of cultural references and historical events. They reveal how psychological damage is done and undone, and show how the therapeutic approach to trauma was developed on the basis of war psychiatry.
By examining the relationship between psychoanalysis and the neurosciences, Davoine and Gaudilliere demonstrate how the patient-analyst relationship can provide insights into the nature of madness. This book offers a unique perspective on the healing process, one that is grounded in clinical theory and informed by historical and cultural context.
