What Nazism Did to Psychoanalysis
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-29453-7 (ISBN)
Addressing the effects of the Holocaust on the psychoanalytic world, this book does not focus on the suffering of the survivors but the analysis of the concrete mechanisms of destruction that affected language and thought, their impact on the practice of psychoanalysis and the defences that psychoanalysts tried to find against the linguistic, legal and symbolic chaos that struck the foundations of reality. Laurence Kahn discusses the struggle against the appropriation, by the Nazi language, of key terms such as demonic nature, drives, ideals and, above all, the Selbsterhaltungstrieb (the self-preservation drive), which became, with Hitler, the axis of the living space policy, the "Lebensraum".
Covering key topics such as trauma, transgenerational issues, silence and secrecy and the depredation of culture, this is an essential work for psychoanalysts and anyone wishing to understand how strongly the development of psychoanalysis was affected by Nazism.
Laurence Kahn is Training and Supervising Analyst at the French Psychoanalytic Association (APF) and is a former President of the APF (2008–2010). In 2014, she received the Maurice Bouvet Award, and in 2021, she received the IPA award for Extraordinarily Meritorious Service to Psychoanalysis.
