Insights from a psychoanalyst navigating conflict and healing in Colombia's Amazon rainforest, suggesting new perspectives post-war.
Colombia has faced internal conflict for several years. This paper addresses the experiences of a psychoanalyst working and traveling in a conflict zone in the Amazon basin in Colombia. The horrors of war are located in the landscape, but also, following the peace process, the rain forest is seen differently and other meanings emerge. While working, psychoanalysts witness and learn from the community.
