> “Rony Alfandary, whose previous book powerfully traced the legacy of his
> own family’s experiences during Nazi times, has written another open and
> compelling text, this time developing his ideas on the practice of
> psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Israel. With the aid of semi-fictionalised
> clinical ‘cases’ along with literary and social analysis, Alfandary
> explores how psychoanalytic practice can articulate the fraught context of
> one of the most trauma-saturated communities in the world. The book raises
> issues around trauma, inheritance, antisemitism and war and will be of
> value to all who are interested in the practice and politics of
> psychoanalysis.” - Stephen Frosh, Emeritus Professor, Birkbeck,
> University of London

> “Alfandary’s book, drawing on decades of experience in the shadow of war,
> offers an original and illuminating interweaving of two healing threads,
> ethics and creativity, forming a generous, lucid, and deeply human guide to
> psychotherapy, trauma, and recovery. Through Alfandary’s remarkable gift
> for storytelling, it stands as a compassionate testimony to the enduring
> human capacity for repair and to its hard-won restoration along the
> psychotherapeutic path in times of trauma and exile.” - Prof. Roth Merav

> “Rony Alfandary, a prominent figure in Israel's mental health field,
> combines in this powerful book his insights regarding attributes of Israeli
> society – the shadow of the Holocaust, experiences of migration, the
> traumatic impact of wars and terrorism, political struggles between
> democratic and authoritarian forces – with his thinking about the universal
> aspects of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and of clinical social work. His
> emphasis on the creative significance of psychotherapy is expressed in
> unique case studies and in explorations of the potential contribution of
> literature and music.” - Emanuel Berman, Ph.D., Israel Psychoanalytic
