“How we played under fire: chronicles of the research teamwork"

Anna Kravtsova (Charkiv)

In this paper the creation, goals and methods of the Ukrainian Research Group of Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists are presented. The group process of traumatized psychoanalysts working with traumatized children and their traumatized parents under external fire and bombardments, suffering of many losses and internal, emotional shocks, will be analyzed. The aim of the psychoanalytic research group is to preserve the ability to think, fantasize and play. Also, to preserve the very ability of human hearts and minds to contain and to symbolize something extremely valuable. Some results of their psychoanalytical work in the group will be presented. During an enduring war, this work has a profound clinical impact for bridging desperateness into creating a future.

“The experiences of forced migration in times of war"

Maryna Kuznetsova (currently living in the Netherlands)

In her paper Maryna Kuznetsova reflects her work with Ukrainian families in the Netherlands. All Ukrainian families were unprepared and not ready for a forced emigration. All suffered under the same events, but their experiences, even within one family, were sometimes quite different. The paper focusses on the sense profound loneliness, especially in traumatized children struggling with feelings of incomprehensibility, injustice, envy. How to help these children in creating hope for a new future?
