Thank you for this important discussion that helps me understand the layers of history that has clearly shaped psychoanalysis. I feel that every ethnicity that has experienced social and political traumas and injustices due to religion or color are each unique unto themselves, all having special needs requiring vicissitudes of deep understanding. I believe that it would be nearly impossible to heal within a human lifespan the multiple complexities of emotional, or, physical trauma all must have experienced throughout their lives.

For me the title of this interview may be : an anger and a silence the two sides of the same coin. It would be interesting to invite Allice Miller' son?

I admit that I was a bit worried that today's topic, Russia's war with Ukraine, would be met with the same 'silence'... But I am very grateful that a number of names were clearly mentioned: 'Hitler, Stalin, Trump, Putin'! Thank you!
