Interview with Kateryna Danylevska by Darren Haber: Speaking through the sirens

Abstract

ABSTRACT The author, from her perspective as a psychoanalyst and chief mental officer of a kindergarten, describes the way war has both changed and not changed her work. Neutrality and symbolic thinking have changed because of the real sirens. Deep sensitivity, different from containment, and the Ukrainian “square nest method” are needed to understand patients as the Ukrainians continue to fight this war against Russia.
