"Offering a psychoanalytic perspective that can encompass trans-generational trauma and the relation to the other is a vital and exciting project, one that required the cooperation of many minds. Equal to that challenge, Trans-generational Trauma and the Other has assembled a stunning array of bold and profound contributions, creatively crossing the boundaries of time and geography, illuminating previously unspoken realms of suffering and injury. Brimming with insight and wisdom, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the psychic and social wounds of traumatic histories."-Jessica Benjamin, author of Shadow of the Other and Beyond Doer and Done to.
"This book deals in a fresh manner with the ever-present clinical and sociocultural evidence that massive group trauma gets passed on to the generations that follow its victims. Encompassing the heartbreaking injustices of slavery, the diabolical cruelties of the Holocaust, the violent ravaging of Cambodia, and the cold suffocations of colonialism at large, the discourse illuminates the dark side of the self-other dialectics, both in the external reality and in the inner world of reminiscences and narratives. Theoretically sophisticated, historically informed, and clinically relevant, Sue Grand and Jill Salberg’s collection of essays exemplifies modern, anthropological psychoanalysis at its best."-Salman Akhtar, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Thomas Jefferson University and Supervising and Training Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia.
