Abstract
Clinical observations are presented of the impact of the 1991 Gulf War on the themes and processes of psychotherapy among a group of Israeli patients. Metaphors of the war period are analyzed in the light of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking, with particular focus on the significance of the sealed room. Some reflections are offered regarding the containing function of the therapist and the therapeutic framework in the face of potential environmental disaster.
