In an era of conflict and unrest, Maurice Apprey’s new book, Transgenerational Haunting in Psychoanalysis. Toxic Errands, offers a welcome path towards considering what alienates us from self and others, and what moves towards healing. In contrast to current trends towards polarization, his is a conciliatory model that advocates for a recognition of common human values and ethics amidst differences of perspective. Collecting and expanding on his previous writing on transgenerational haunting, Apprey invites us to move into the spaces of greatest reactivity, both personally and collectively, while remaining open to possibilities of meaning.
