Psychosocial Notebook - IOM Publications - International ...

Introduction • Natale Losi
3. This term is used by Eugène Enriquez (Enriquez, 1980). I use his word and
notion of “ghost” to refer to the trainer figure, in order to offer an alternative
to the rigid constellation that the “rescuer” can find him/herself a part of.
4. For a more exhaustive description of the PTR approach, see Losi, 2000.
5. Apart from the volume mentioned in the preceding note, two further volumes
of the Psychosocial Notebooks, are in preparation following this one. The first
dedicated to theatre (a sample video tape will be included) and the second, to
clinical work.
6. All of the materials collected for the Archives of Memory (interviews, diaries,
letters, drawings and pictures) will be soon available on its website
http://www.iomkosovomemory.int.
7. The research for the Archives of Memory was also extended outside Kosovo:
in Italy and in Serbia (two of the regions most concerned by the migratory
flows that occurred during and in the aftermath of the war) interviews were
collected among the communities Kosovar refugees. Research was conducted
in Serbia by the Italian NGO Arcs – Arci Cultura e Sviluppo (under the direction
of Nicola Mai) and in Italy by the European University Institute (under
the direction of Luisa Passerini).
