Beskrivning
Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis in Times of Crisis: War, Pandemic and the Climate Crisis gathers a global cohort of psychoanalytic thinkers to consider the most pressing issues currently faced by young people worldwide.Each chapter provides a theoretical exploration of our psychically and socially damaging collective reality and offers practical support to psychoanalysts working to create safe spaces in a world that feels fundamentally unlivable for many young people. Case studies span the Ukraine and Palestine/Israel conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis and forced displacement as a result of climate catastrophe. Contributors explore the active impact of these devastating events, including the pervasive hopelessness suffered by young people deprived of agency and a viable future, through first-hand accounts of working with children and adolescents in conflict zones. Drawing on the work of Bion, Winnicott, Judith Butler and others, these essays offer hope by showing the important role that psychoanalytic work can play in restoring the capacity for psychic development, resilience and meaning making.Part of the Routledge Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis series, this book is an essential read for all psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, caregivers, teachers, social workers and academics.

Recensioner i media

‘Written for tumultuous times, this volume offers fresh and valuable psychoanalytic reflections on traumatized children’s play and on how wars/climate change/pandemics inflect psychic development. Breaking with psychoanalysis’s omertà around naming the genocide of Palestinian children and trans youth, Fiorella’s bold and erudite collection tracks fantasies about blown-off limbs growing back, impending disablements by climate change/pandemics, and trans children’s anxieties about being erased. It also necessarily reveals how adults fail children, children wounded not only by bombs, disease, and rising temperatures, but also by adults’ lies, greed, narcissism, and inaction. Never has Winnicott’s “there’s no such thing as a baby” been such a searing indictment.’Avgi Saketopoulou, Cypriot and Greek psychoanalyst on faculty at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, New York, USA. ‘This is a powerful and precious book. The contributors have gone undaunted into the darkest of places and seen some terrible sights. Someone had to do it and thanks to these brave psychoanalysts, now someone has. They have much to teach us.’Anne Alvarez, Consultant, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, London, UK. ‘It is an essential task for psychoanalysis to contemplate the precarity of human existence in a world under threat of extinction, a pandemic, and endless wars. The social-political circumstances of our lives are as fundamental to who we are as the dynamics of our families of origins, doubly so when they are traumatic. This book explores the condition of the most vulnerable humans: children. It is written by people who have been meeting them in some of the most devastating trauma zones. It is a gift, and a demand that we pay close attention and do what we can.’Eyal Rozmarin, psychoanalyst, New York, USA.
