Dr. Auerhahn will discuss her psychoanalytic process evaluating refugees as part of their application for asylum.   She will focus on the emergence of unrepresented content and abject states within the intersubjective matrix that lead to collaborative creation of a story of trauma.  She will also examine how such intra- and inter-personal encounters are structured by the larger social, political and cultural contexts that support, limit, structure, erase and determine what can be known and told.
