Abstract

This paper underscores the dual responsibility in psychoanalytic practice: addressing individual and societal traumas. Using Benjamin, a third-generation Holocaust survivor, as a case study, it advocates integrating societal traumas into psychoanalysis, moving beyond individual denial. Benjamin's journey, involving psychoanalysis and community support, highlights the importance of active engagement with trauma for post-memorial healing. The psychotherapist, in this case, plays a crucial role in witnessing and addressing intergenerationally transmitted trauma, fostering the patient's transformation and confronting their own historical connections to broader societal traumas.

剪辑：对第三代大屠杀幸存者的精神分析

本文强调了精神分析实践中的双重责任：解决个人和社会创伤。它以第三代大屠杀幸存者本杰明（Benjamin）为例，倡导将社会创伤纳入精神分析，而不是个人否认。本杰明的经历，包括精神分析和社区支持，强调了积极参与创伤对纪念后康复的重要性。在这种情况下，心理治疗师在见证和处理代际传播的创伤，促进患者的转变以及面对他们自己与更广泛的社会创伤的历史联系方面发挥着至关重要的作用。

期刊介绍： The British Journal of Psychotherapy is a journal for psychoanalytic and Jungian-analytic thinkers, with a focus on both innovatory and everyday work on the unconscious in individual, group and institutional practice. As an analytic journal, it has long occupied a unique place in the field of psychotherapy journals with an Editorial Board drawn from a wide range of psychoanalytic, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic, and analytical psychology training organizations. As such, its psychoanalytic frame of reference is wide-ranging and includes all schools of analytic practice. Conscious that many clinicians do not work only in the consulting room, the Journal encourages dialogue between private practice and institutionally based practice. Recognizing that structures and dynamics in each environment differ, the Journal provides a forum for an exploration of their differing potentials and constraints. Mindful of significant change in the wider contemporary context for psychotherapy, and within a changing regulatory framework, the Journal seeks to represent current debate about this context.
