Migration and persecution are of central importance in our culture not only in Europe, but across the globe. In this book, six psychoanalysts seek a personal theoretical and clinical approach to the subject and provide an access to the heterogeneous forms and the treatment of the human experience with uprooting, trauma, loss and violence. The variety of this book offers a lifelike approach both to the topic of migration and persecution and to how the fear of the foreign and the strange is dealt with.
