Dear Allessandro
Your phd proposals on systemtherapy/theory, psychotrauma, violence and
transgenerational psychogeneologies are impressive.
Beautiful, in my view rather urgent, but still collosal ambitions which
will be, from my experiences, difficult to bring home in today's
academic anthropology. However... not tried means not knowing how far
you can jump.
I (field)worked for ten years as a groupstherapist/anthropologist in
clinical (Dutch) psychiatry with young men. (see 1994 pdf)
Then for 20 years I lectured/trained anthropological-systemic concepts
leared from them and in psychiatry to professsionals in mental and youth
care institutions (also in juvenile incarceration settings and forensic
psychiatry).
Since 2007 I, as the only 'clinical anthropologist', co-educate
transcultural systemic (family) therapists at the Marjon Arends
Institute in Amsterdam; The Netherlands (www.cttamsterdam.nl/en). The
works of Nagy, Schuetzenberger, Keeney, Minuchin, Bateson are part and
parcel of mine/our conceptual frameworks.
Our systemtherapy conceptions are based the presuposition that people
live in (alernating constructive and destructive) recusive
transgenerational patterns in their families/communities which are
embedded in wider (urban/amsterdam) and wider (national
Dutch/transnational/european/global) contexts.
In my many years of screening of international developments on
reflexivity in anthropological and social science research I think we,
at our educational institute in Amsterdam, are blazing trails (speaking
with Victor Turner's book title).
Our students, in order to get certified, have to re-study (become aware)
their family/gender/cultural/class/migration histories synchronically
with putting their learned concepts/insights into (a chosen
case/clientsystem) practice and reflect on these processes in writing
their essays.
But still, as far as I know, combining (cross-overs between)
anthropological (kinship) theories and family therapy (system) theories
is still in dipers.
Our most recent 'systemic' publication (we have moved forward yet is our
clininical/educational practices) is from 2010 on /Rituals and
Protective Wrapping/, see PDF
Most of my publications are in Dutch but on the net a number of English
(translated) papers can be found at:
https://anthropo-gazing.academia.edu/DirckVanBekkum. For most advanced
in your direction see my five conference presentations on this portal.
My 1999 paper titled: /Balancing Ethnic and National Loyalties builds/
on anthropology and systemtheory/therapy touches the 'invisible
loyalties' framework of Nagy (1984).
Bringing the (our own) 'ancestors' back in
I wish your ambition to come through/true and if you have questions
please do.
