‘The impact of trauma on the psyche of the individual using the film Belleville Rendez-vous as an illustrative vehicle’ by Sharn Waldron
Published in the Journal of Analytical Psychology Volume 53, no. 4, September 2008.
This was the Prize Committee's citation:
The Committee felt that this paper addressed the important subject of trauma with rigour, integrity and creativity. In bringing together the subject of trauma and the film Belleville Rendez-vous, by Sylvain Chomet, the paper not only convincingly illuminated the film with its deep analysis in respect to trauma, but also made the subject of trauma accessible and shed new light on its dynamic functioning. In integrating these insights with clinical material the paper impressively demonstrated ‘the impact of trauma on the psyche of the individual’. The Committee felt that the paper was a deserving winner of this year's prize.
The prize is for a paper published in UK psychoanalytic and Jungian analytic Journals in the last year that demonstrates a creative approach to the arts from an analytic perspective. The ‘arts’ is defined broadly to include film, music, television, dance and the fine arts generally.
The prize is an award of £500 given to the author directly. The next prize will be for papers published up to June 2010, and will be announced in early 2011.
