This paper details my psychoanalytic process evaluating refugees as part of their application for asylum. It focuses on the emergence of unrepresented content and abject states within the intersubjective matrix that lead to collaborative creation of a story of trauma. Such intra- and inter-personal encounters are structured by the larger social, political, and cultural contexts that support, limit, structure, erase, and determine what can be known and told. Knowledge of traumatic inscription necessitates attunement to nonverbal affective states in both survivor and witness as well a receptive society that is able to tolerate grief, acknowledge the degradation and depravity unleashed in victim and victimizer during violence, and absorb survivors’ mournful morality tales.

本文详细介绍了我对难民进行精神分析评估的过程，作为他们申请庇护的一部分。它侧重于主体间矩阵中未呈现的内容和悲惨状态的出现，从而导致协作创作创伤故事。这种内部和人际交往是由更大的社会、政治和文化背景构成的，这些背景支持、限制、构建、消除和决定可以了解和讲述的内容。了解创伤铭文需要协调幸存者和目击者的非语言情感状态，以及一个能够容忍悲伤、承认受害者和施害者在暴力过程中释放出的堕落和堕落、吸收幸存者悲伤的道德故事的接受性社会。
