Since then, much has changed in the politics of Northern Ireland. The hunger strikes of 1980 and 1981 were formative in the progress from violence, and the use of the body as a weapon, to inclusion and participation in democratic political institutions. This article, first published, in longer form, twenty years ago (Maynes, 2000) places the hunger strikes within a psychoanalytic understanding in order to more fully understand some of the dynamics of violence towards others and towards the self.","PeriodicalId":111356,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122977638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disturbing emotions aroused in the therapist are evoked via the autonomic nervous system. Violence provokes a sympathetic reaction, perverse sexuality a parasympathetic response; in each case this is at largely unconscious level and thus all the more powerful. The impact on the therapeutic process is then examined both at an individual and an institutional level.

However, it is not only unmourned grief, but unworked-through violence that leads to destruction and enables the victim the possibility of ridding themselves of unbearable psychic pain. The solutions to this predicament are different; from identification with the aggressor to turning this pain against himself, resulting in depression, self-injuries, and suicide. This article illustrates the principle at three different, but interrelated levels: personal, familial, and social. It suggests that not only individuals or families resist mourning, but that multiple generations in different countries may not be able to complete the working through of these traumas. This may lead to constant re-enactment of the scenario and strangles development.","PeriodicalId":111356,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116118550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
