[49 pages]
This week we continue our focus on the deep and lasting impact of trauma.
Lawrence Brown: in Julie’s Museum: The Evolution of Thinking, Dreaming, and Historicization In the Treatment of Traumatized Patients, complements and extends Bromberg’s paper by linking trauma’s destruction of one’s internal thinking-containing capacity with the concretization of thought. His clinical example highlights the importance in these cases of the analyst’s imaginative capacity being crucial for helping their patients begin to think and dream, and to free themselves from the mental captivity of concrete thought. How do you share your imaginative capacity with your patients?
