A Psychoanalyst on His Own Couch - Ferhat Atik - Bog

Born to Turkish parents in Cyprus, Vamik Volkan moved to the US as a young man over half a century ago, where his career flourished in ways few could have foreseen. He is the founder of many worthwhile organisations and initiatives and his research and work have been applied into real-world international relations. Therefore, any book about Vamik Volkan is also a professional guide; the life of a professor and his real-life stories, a means towards understanding humanity, societies, memories, and modes of psychological treatment. Within, are many influential and widely accepted concepts that Dr. Volkan introduced to the wider world. This collaborative biography is full of fascinating insight into a modest man whose work took him to some of the most combative and volatile parts of the world, where his interventions had positive, real-world effects for us all. Professionals working within his field and also those outside will find it full of inspiration and innovation - a riveting read for anyone with an interest in international relations, which should be us all in these uncertain times.
