Omschrijving
"History Flows Through Us offers an array of essays by a distinguished group of historians and psychoanalysts that will be important for future studies of trauma, the Holocaust, and other instances of extreme violence in both history and personal life. It offers interacting ways of attempting to understand the past as accurately and compassionately as possible while also entering into critical dialogue with voices that continue to haunt the present. Roger Frie’s concluding, thought-provoking exchange with Thomas Kohut on history and psychoanalysis is one among many outstanding features of the book."-Dominick LaCapra, Professor Emeritus of History and of Comparative Literature, Bowmar Professor Emeritus of Humanistic Studies, Cornell University
"This book is a beautiful tribute to the imaginative oeuvre of the historian-psychoanalyst Thomas Kohut. The authors gathered here offer a wealth of marvelously fresh, provocative and crucial critical insights into the workings of memory and history alike."-Dagmar Herzog, author of Cold War Freud: Psychoanalysis in an Age of Catastrophes
"Roger Frie's wide-ranging volume addresses the German and Jewish pasts from historical, psychoanalytic and philosophical perspectives. In doing so, readers are introduced to cutting-edge research on memory, transference, trauma and emotions as they pertain to the study of mass violence in the twentieth century. The book is a most welcome reminder that the disciplines of history and psychology can benefit from a closer dialogue."-Anthony D. Kauders, Reader in Modern European History, Keele University
