These comments center on two phrases repeated in Chalker’s paper. One is the poignant question “Can I get a witness?” The other phrase claims that difference alters understanding. Current relational literature on collective trauma and witnessing is reviewed, addressing Chalker’s question and clinical case.

I love my institute, it's my safe haven. Rushing reminiscences cascaded in my mind, condoms became masks, a laughing Hollywood actor-president morphed into a reality-TV-show-host-president. Pulling my door too hard, it slammed and the hallway made that hollow, heavy, thud I've heard often since March 2020.

我爱我的研究所,它是我的避风港。回忆如瀑布般涌上我的脑海,避孕套变成了面具,一个笑着的好莱坞演员总统变成了一个真人秀节目主持人总统。把门拉得太用力,门砰地一声关上了,走廊发出了空洞、沉重的撞击声,这是我自2020年3月以来经常听到的。【摘自文章】精神分析观点的版权是Taylor & Francis Ltd的财产,未经版权所有者的明确书面许可,其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是,用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这篇摘要可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参考资料的原始出版版本以获取完整摘要。(版权适用于所有摘要。)

The events of 9/11 have been vanishing from memories. Yet it was a pivotal event in world history and in many families’ individual life cycles. Enduring losses and ruptures have rippled into both intensely personal moments and our sociopolitical processes. We vowed initially never to forget. But the problem we faced in the aftermath of the terrifying attacks became how best to remember. Twenty years later the author reflects on those historical events from her perspective as the Consulting Psychologist to Thinc Design, the exhibition design team for the National September 11 Memorial Museum. Using now her senses attuned to the 9/11 trauma narrative and its effects on group processes, as well as her habit of thinking about memory as multi-directional dialogue among disparate-in-time meanings, she attempts to locate 9/11 in a historical constellation with Hiroshima, the War on Terror, Latin American 9/11, COVID, Black Lives Matter, dissociated grief and grievance, and the 1/6 US Capital Insurrection.

The experience of narrating the memory of a traumatic and transformative event becomes a meditation on how one person is launched into psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic training, and the psychoanalytic profession. Listening to imagery, paying attention to serendipity, honoring memory in its creative, emergent form, and retaining the ideology from a first career as an advocate for criminal justice are the themes that come to define the writer’s analytic voice. Approaching the twenty-year anniversary of 9/11, she looks back at her last two decades of unfolding.

This paper considers some of the paradoxes, challenges and opportunities we face in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. I consider the ways in which masks serve necessary protective functions, while at the same time serving defensive roles in a different register. The ways in which “remote” work can function as an obstacle to therapeutic intimacy at the same time that it can deepen it, are considered.

In a time as stressful and uncertain as a pandemic, individuals struggle to weigh the risk vs. benefit ratio as they attempt to pursue at least some of their customary life satisfactions while keeping themselves and others safe. What modifications in our usual psychoanalytic approach–if any–are called for in working with patients grappling with those decisions? What kind of influence are we exerting, consciously or unconsciously, over their views and actions during these times? How do psychoanalysts’ own unrecognized needs, wishes, and anxieties affect their responsivity to their patients? This paper takes up these questions and others as part of an exploration of the ethical dimension of psychoanalytic care.
