I HAD A MUMMY TOO: WAR TRAUMAS: A PSYCHOANALYTIC EXPERIENCE IN BOSNIA HERZEGOVINIA; PATRIZIA BRUNORI...ET AL

I Had a Mummy Too: War Traumas: A Psychoanalytic Experience in Bosnia-Herzegovina, published in 2006 by Free Association Books, emerged from the clinical work conducted in the aftermath of the Bosnian War. Edited by Patrizia Brunori and colleagues, the text documents the psychological interventions provided to survivors, particularly children, who had been subjected to severe trauma. It serves as a professional record of how psychoanalytic principles were adapted to address the unique, collective, and individual psychic scarring inflicted by ethnic conflict.

The book functions as both a clinical study and a humanitarian archive, reflecting the authors' dedication to documenting the long-term impact of violence on human development. The contributors, a team of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, approached the subject through the lens of early relational theory, focusing on the restoration of security after profound abandonment and trauma. Upon its release, it was noted for its intersection of academic rigor and empathetic, deeply humanistic reporting on the difficulties of post-conflict mental health care.
