Creativity and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at Times of War, Exile, and Trauma draws upon decades of clinical experience to illuminate the unique challenges and profound insights that emerge when practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapy within a multifaceted social terrain.

With reference to clinical case material and theoretical insight, Alfandary offers readers unprecedented access to therapeutic work conducted in Israel amid ongoing cultural tensions, military conflicts, and intergenerational trauma. Drawing from Winnicott, Bion, Klein, and Freud, the author explores how exile, trauma, and war fracture both individual identity and the social fabric, and how these ruptures can also spark unexpected creativity and growth. The book also covers a range of themes, including immigration, cross-cultural work, military trauma and antisemitism, revealing how psychoanalytic practice adapts and responds to Israel's distinctive social pressures while offering universal insights into human resilience, trauma recovery, and the therapeutic relationship.

Creativity and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at Times of War, Exile, and Trauma will be of great interest to psychoanalytic psychotherapists, social workers and psychologists. It will also be relevant for academics and scholars of trauma studies, literary studies and interdisciplinary researchers.

Rony Alfandary, Ph.D. is a clinical social worker and senior lecturer at the School of Social Work at the University of Haifa, Israel. He served as Director of the Post-Graduate Programme in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at Bar-Ilan University until 2022. He is the author of twelve books, including prose and poetry.
