Psychoanalysis, History, and Radical Ethics: Learning to Hear explores the importance of listening, being able to speak, and those who are silenced, from a psychoanalytic perspective. In particular, it focuses on those voices silenced either collectively or individually by trauma, culture, discrimination and persecution, and even by the history of psychoanalysis. Drawing on lessons from philosophy and history as well as clinical vignettes, this book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the role of trauma in creating silence, and the importance for psychoanalysts of learning to hear those silenced voices.

"In this extraordinary book, Donna Orange helps us hear with our
hearts. She challenges us to attend to those silenced by
oppression, prejudice, violence, poverty, and other cruelties. This
book is essential reading for the neophyte as well as the seasoned
clinician, striving to hear the suffering other, as well as the
muted voices within ourselves." --Sandra Buechler is a training and
supervising analyst at the William Alanson White Institute, New
York, USA""I listen therefore I am." With hearing impaired,
one-sided, how does an "I" take its place in a world of others?
Using her own life as such an experiment in nature, Donna Orange
openly, poignantly, and brilliantly explores the development of
individuality and intersubjectivity, the essence of what it means
to be a person. A leader recognized around the world for using
psychoanalysis to explore the central questions of philosophy,
Orange now brings fresh emotional immediacy and depth of serious
thinking to the subject. This is a work of substantial
significance, at once a beautiful literary memoir and a
contribution of substantial significance." --Warren S. Poland,
M.D., has practiced clinical psychoanalysis for over 50 years and
is the former editor of the JAPA Review of Books"In Learning To
Hear, Orange continues her ethical quest. Entwining history,
philosophy and psychoanalysis, she exhorts us towards a mission of
ethical hearing. For Orange, ethical hearing is distinct from
agentic 'listening' - it is a receptivity to the speech and silence
that has been kept in the shadows. This book humanizes its subject,
and is an important contribution to the social-ethical turn in
psychoanalysis." --Sue Grand, PhD, has been practicing couples,
family, and individual therapy for over 40 years

depth, the book provides several ideas of how we can address our
responsibilities in a concrete way. The book is likely to be
helpful to all counsellors and psychotherapists, however
experienced, who wish to take seriously the ways in which they are
silencing their clients or supervisees. The ideas may help trainers
to reflect more deeply on training content and on their responses
to trainees."
