Psychoanalytic Work in East Africa presents a unique insight into psychoanalytic practice with urban populations in Eastern Africa.
Barbara Saegesser describes her psychoanalytic work in different East-African locations and in a wide range of contexts. Each chapter considers a particular context, from work in hospitals, in psychiatric hospitals and with children in orphanages to maternity wards with women who have been submitted to genital mutilation. Saegesser also reflects on questions of gender, religion and working across cultures throughout, and considers the benefits of this approach for people who haven’t previously encountered psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalytic Work in East Africa will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists looking to learn more about working with people in complex and challenging, also dangerous situations, across cultures, and in areas where psychoanalysis is not at all known.
