In the analytic setting an encounter with cultural trauma is intertwined with the patient’s personal history and traumas, shadow dynamics and the cultural complexes of both the patient and the analyst. The latter is the culturally affected transference and countertransference. The participants will be invited to look at various meanings and images that an analyst from another culture may have for their patients. I will explore how multicultural and multilingual therapy is a patient’s unconscious choice, and how the Wounded Healer archetype is activated, illustrating it with references with clinical material.
