Description
Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi explore the intersection of psychoanalysis and occupation in Palestine, shedding light on the experiences of Palestinian clinicians and their patients. Over four years, they engaged with community members to gather stories about life under Israeli occupation, revealing how settler colonialism affects individuals and communities. The authors examine how discourses like "normalization," "trauma," and "resilience" often obscure the psychological impact of occupation, and instead offer a critical perspective on psychoanalysis as a tool for resistance. This book offers a unique insight into the therapeutic theories being developed in Palestine to address the complex conditions faced by Palestinians living under occupation. By centering the voices of Palestinian clinicians, Sheehi and Sheehi provide a nuanced understanding of the psychological effects of occupation and the ways in which psychoanalysis can be used as a tool for social change.
