Klappentext zu „Undoing the Clinch of Oppression “
The author shows in this book that the social division of labor in handling emotions creates and maintains oppression - inside the family, as in child abuse, and in the larger social scene, as at work or inside social movements. He argues that the struggle against oppression is more likely to succeed if it is informed by group practices that enable handling these emotions better. Relying on concepts of identification with the aggressor, projection upon a primed vulnerable other, and the delusion of fusion, the author describes processes by which oppression is installed and how social groups may use clinically-derived understandings to create new ways for managing commonly seen guilt, self-hatred, rage, and anxiety. The work engages the unity of private inner life with participation in communal endeavors, the personal in the political.

Rezension zu „Undoing the Clinch of Oppression “
This book-length essay by Philip Lichtenberg is a comprehensive analysis of the pervasive role of oppression in our society, much of it unrecognized. The book is particularly interesting in that it outlines and emphasizes the part the victim plays in the victim-aggressor syndrome. Lichtenberg in no way minimalizes the difficulties in recognizing and coping with this pervasive problem. It is evident that he has mastered the theories of the various schools of psychoanalysis and Gestalt Therapy, as well as other therapeutic disciplines, and he utilizes them to develop a comprehensive psychological understanding. At the same time, he recognizes that social and political factors have to be confronted. (Isadore From) This is a timely and significant book that provides valuable insights into the psychosocial interior of oppression - how it is developed, enacted, and maintained at the interpersonal, organizational, and societal levels. (Edmund Sherman, Journal of Teaching in Social Work)
