Therapeutic relationships in wartime Ukraine.

Psychoanalytic Psychology, Vol 40(4), Oct 2023, 247-250; doi:10.1037/pap0000482

The war created a special background for psychoanalytic therapy, the interdiscourse which fills the analytic sessions. This interdiscourse relates to the therapeutic encounter in a variety of ways sides, resulting in a number of distinct therapeutic phenomena and features of the therapeutic relationship. This contribution highlights several of these phenomena, including (a) the inversion of relations, establishing a new system of power dynamics and positions of self-disclosure, (b) overloading of sessions with feelings of guilt, (c) new dimensions of mental regression, and (d) the exhaustion of the analysand’s ego. This article describes and illustrates these phenomena. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
