Facing the (Political) Elephant in the Room: On the Depoliticisation and Re-Politicisation of Refugee Trauma Amongst Therapists in Germany
PTSD is commonly diagnosed in refugees, and since 2015 refugee mental health programmes in Germany have increased (BPtK in Bericht zur Mentalen Gesundheit Geflüchteter , 2019). Despite the vast literature on refugee trauma (Silove et al. in World Psychiatry, 16 (2), 130–139, 2017), there has been little engagement with the role of therapists therein. This article addresses this lacuna by drawing on 23 semi-structured interviews conducted in 2020 …
Vulnerability in the shadows: On the role of institutionalised solidarity and visibility as preconditions of Long Covid solidarity
Trauma as counter-revolutionary colonisation: Narratives from (post)revolutionary Egypt
We argue that multiple levels of trauma were present in Egypt before, during and after the 2011 revolution.

Shattered worlds: Political trauma amongst young activists in post-revolutionary Egypt

Trauma shatters one’s assumptive world as it confronts one with the fragility of existence and the possibility of immediate death. Activists experienced automatic psychological coping mechanisms of intrusion (e.g. dreams and nightmares) and numbing, but Egypt’s post-revolutionary soc…
Jürgen Habermas and Bush’s Neoconservatives: Too Close for Comfort
In his recent political writings, Habermas has opposed his cosmopolitan project to that of the Bushite neoconservatives. However, this article argues that in some respects Habermas's works come closer to the neoconservative agenda than he realizes and that this poses a potential danger of its being appropriated by precisely the camp he opposes. These problems particularly come to the fore in his analysis of Islamic fundamentalism, democracy and t…
