Gabriela Mann's book explores the work of an Israeli psychoanalyst who
encounters the trauma and tragedy of Israelis living in an environment
saturated with existential anxieties and threats to their well-being.
This work offers clinical materials that illustrate the possibility of
expansion of the mind through a spiritual dimension in psychoanalysis.
The main theme focuses on transcending from a narrow perspective to a
broad compassionate view by uncovering the interconnectedness between
seemingly different phenomena. This cultivates the patients' ability
to free themselves from past and contemporary trauma. Drawing on
Kohut, Bion, and Winnicott, as well as from Buddhist thinking, Seeing
Through Blindness describes the transformation of archaic narcissism,
usually concerned with individual goals, to mature narcissism which
strives for a supra-individual perspective. The reader is invited to
choose among the chapters that describe splits in the self, paradoxes
of belonging, perpetrators and victims, perversion, and selfobject
needs at times of threat and bereavement. The book offers new ways of
thinking about trauma in a troubled world, for all psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
