This workshop presents authors of 'Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine’, Lara and Stephen Sheehi, in conversation with Reem Shelhi and Sue Einhorn, who have both reviewed the book in the group analytic publications, ‘Contexts’ and Group Analysis Quarterly, and Diyala Midhat, Community and Educational Psychologist working in Jerusalem in conversation with Reem Shelhi. Each conversation will be followed by a large group discussion.

Lara and Stephen Sheehi’s book describes the experiences of Palestinian clinicians practicing analytic psychotherapy in Palestine, revealing the impact of the occupation on the mental health of individuals and communities and the difficulties of practicing in that setting. Diyala Midhat will talk about her clinical and advocacy work with women and children in Jerusalem. We had hoped to have Lara and Stephen Sheehi with us in person but owing to logistic problems (they will be in the US), they will join us by video link for the conversations. So will Diyala Midhat who will be in Jerusalem. Reem Shelhi and Sue Einhorn will be with us in person and will participate in the large group discussions.
