SUBJECT(S): PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY APPLIED TO OCCUPATIONAL NARRATIVES, E.G. ADDICTION TO NEAR-DEATH, FORGIVENESS AS A FORM OF REPARATIVE ACTION, RECOGNITION IN A CLOSE ENCOUNTER.

This is a selection of work I have had published in books and journals. The papers were often inspired by someone who asked a difficult question, for example if Primo Levi survived the concentration camps, wrote several important books on man’s humanity and inhumanity, why did he kill himself? Because I was studying psychoanalysis and was following the TRC in South Africa, I was troubled over the concept of forgiveness. The paper ‘when faith eclipse hope’ arose from these reflections. Further papers have arisen from similar provocative events. The most recent publications have been an exploration of racism and reciprocity with collaborators. As they were not sole authored, they have not been included.

"I had never before allowed myself to recognize the fear of death that must be common to us all, and neither had I properly understood its implications: that life is immensely precious and the links we have with people, in all their dreadful complexity, are all that we have, and if there is such a thing as evil in the world it lies in the deliberate breaking of those links (Craib, 1994, p. vii)"
