Dialogue with Gaea Logan: “The whole world needs to hear these stories”

ABSTRACT In this reflective, compassionate interview, Gaea Logan discusses her work in supporting Ukrainian therapists amidst unthinkably traumatic circumstances, our need to stay aware of the long-term psychological impact of Putin’s invasion, and the importance of our continued support of our Ukrainian colleagues now, no matter how small the gesture. Logan contextualizes her view of the current onslaught within a career of recognizing and mitigating traumatic suffering around the world, motivated in part by her own family’s history of surviving Nazi violence. She also addresses today’s need for (and her efforts to co-create) a global, multi-disciplinary psychoanalytic community.
