Traveling through the worlds: New challenges in therapy with children, adolescents, and their families during the war.

Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol 40(4), Oct 2023, 243-246; doi:10.1037/pap0000481

When Russia’s 8-year war against Ukraine escalated into large-scale aggression across the country, the lives of all Ukrainians were thrown into chaos. Preserving the psychotherapeutic space, which was especially important for our child and adolescent patients, proved to be a great challenge for psychoanalytic psychotherapists. This contribution describes these challenges and adaptations made by Ukrainian child analysts in order to maintain a space of safety and trust. This article discusses efforts to remain reliable objects of attachment for child patients under conditions of numerous relational losses. Child psychotherapy under conditions of full-scale war is illustrated. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
