Book Announcement by Gila Ofer <\/strong>(Israel)<\/p>\n

\"ofercoverimage1117w\"<\/a>In a world dominated by conflicts that rapidly turn into wars, this book presents a multi-faceted perspective on conflicts and their resolution that is applicable to individuals, groups and society. Published by Karnac for the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (EFPP) Monograph Series (2017), A Bridge Over Troubled Water: Conflicts and Reconciliation in Groups and Society <\/em>is a compilation of papers by different authors, among them Vamik Volkan, Robi Friedman, Haim Weinberg, and Michael Bucholz, with a foreword by Earl Hopper and an introduction by Gila Ofer, both editor and contributor.<\/p>\n

While most of the writers are group analysts working in the tradition of Foulkes, several others come from different though complementary perspectives, enriching the theoretical basis of the research. So, there are perspectives, inter alia, from Bion and Cortesao. Several writers are also psychoanalysts. The writers represent different countries and cultures, focusing on problems that are endemic to their own localities that yet have a wider and deeper resonance. We are introduced to conflict and division in Bedouin society, the Roma people living in Greece, citizens\u2019 reflective communities in Serbia, continuing territorial and ideological differences in Israel and the Middle East, and tensions of difference in the psychoanalytic community itself.<\/p>\n

The book throws light on some of society\u2019s most intractable problems, generating compassion and understanding in place of hatred and division. If we have mostly become wary of hope and optimism in an embattled world, the message that reconciliation and forgiveness are possible, and that there are practical steps to achieving this, rather than idle dreams, makes this an important book with relevance to all those trying to make sense of present times and finding their role as responsible citizens.<\/p>\n
