Abstract
This article highlights the issue of how the practice of psychoanalytic therapy is affected by its being conducted within the context of war and terror. The author confides not having given this question any systematic thought prior to writing the article, in spite of having lived and worked for decades in that context. He shows how his personal history and the course of his career as a therapist were intertwined with the history of the political conflict, and politically involved though he was, he seems to have vertically split-off its potential effect on his therapeutic work. Four vignettes are presented to explore the clinical and ethical dilemmas he faced under these circumstances, and an attempt is made to seek some answers.
