Current Issue: Volume 4, Number 2

The cover and full table of contents are available here.

This issue features a roundtable discussion entitled “Last Witnesses: Child Survivors of the Holocaust.” It is a heartfelt and profound discussion by panelists Eva Metzger Brown, Ph.D.; Dori Laub, M.D.; Clemens Loew, Ph.D. and Sophia Richman, Ph.D., who discuss their experiences as survivors, patients, therapists and parents. The roundtable was inspired by the paper, “A Child Survivor Comes Out of Hiding: Two Stories of Trauma,” by Eva Metzger Brown, which appears in the issue along with discussions of Ionas Sapountzis’ “The Scarred Rapper and the Poems of Always” (Vol. 4 #1) by Neil Altman and Sarah Hill.

Our Creative and Literary Arts section presents poems and short fiction dedicated to the theme of presence and absence and loss, and the debut of our new “Private Lives” section, featuring personal memoirs, with Clem Loew’s story, “The Apron.”

The issue ends with an interesting and comprehensive review essay of “Affect Regulation, Mentalization and the Development of the Self” by Fonagy, Target, Gergley and Jurist; “Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self” by Alan Schore; and “Affect Dysregulation and the Disorders of the Self” by Alan Schore.
