This captivating book delves into the profound experiences of frontline medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering unique insights into psychoanalytic work with trauma and perspectives from literature. Part One presents a series of six 'testimonies,' transcribed from video interviews conducted by Françoise Davoine with nurses, doctors, and intensive care anaesthesiologists. These interviews serve as the foundation for Part Two, 'Frontline Psychoanalysis,' which explores the story of transference related to catastrophic events, a concept that Freud abandoned in 1897 when he gave up the psychoanalysis of trauma. Davoine delves into the occurrence of this specific type of transference, both during the First World War, when psychotherapists modified classical techniques and pioneered the psychoanalysis of madness to treat traumatized soldiers, and during the current and past pandemics. The book also examines social and artistic responses to trauma, ranging from the popularity of the Theatre of Fools after the Black Death ravaged Europe to the psychotherapy described in such circumstances by Boccaccios Decameron.
This accessible work provides a thought-provoking reflection on trauma and the human experience. With its wide appeal, Pandemics, Wars, Traumas, and Literature will captivate psychoanalysts in practice and training, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, academics, and scholars of literature alike.
