TY - JOUR A1 - Mucci, Clara T1 - Psychoanalysis for a new humanism: Embodied testimony, connectedness, memory and forgiveness for a >persistence of the human< T2 - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 27 (No. 3, 2018), pp. 176-187. N2 - In proposing a refounding of psychoanalysis within a humanist perspective, the author suggests a comparison between Elie Wiesel’s discussion of concepts such as witnessing, testimony, and memory as redemption, and Sandor Ferenczi’s idea of the therapist as >benevolent and useful witness,< who, thanks to his/her true empathic and committed participation, in contrast to Freud’s neutrality, enables the patient to achieve real awareness of the split parts within him- or herself, as well as an integration of the fragmentation due to trauma. Against >indifference,< the practice of connectedness, responsibility, memory, love, and forgiveness as true elaboration of trauma and >going beyond< are proposed as tools towards a >persistence of the human< in a world of increasing dehumanization.
