Psychoanalytic Thinking on the Unhoused Mind delves into the psychological roots of contemporary societal challenges, including homelessness, mental distress, loneliness, and societal breakdowns. Through a rich blend of clinical work, artistic insights, and literary references, the book vividly portrays the intricate interplay between individual psyches, collective identities, and broader political and cultural frameworks. The book explores the unhoused minds of individuals facing various adversities, such as rough sleepers, ex-prisoners, survivors of institutional abuse, and individuals grappling with personality disorders, addiction, psychosis, and dementia. Chapters delve into outreach, assessment, long-term psychotherapy, reflective practice with staff teams and care systems, and learning from consultation, supervision, and policy development. By drawing from psychoanalytic understandings of containment and care difficulties, the book develops innovative therapeutic responses to chronic risk and resilience. This comprehensive collection is of immense value to psychotherapists, mental health practitioners, professionals working in therapeutic, residential, criminal justice settings, and outreach services. It sheds light on the complex dynamics that shape the experiences of unhoused individuals and offers valuable insights into addressing their mental health needs and promoting social inclusivity.
