\\u201cThe students are fascinated to see that someone who ordinarily they know behind the couch can be on the stand and try to influence social justice,\\xa0and\\xa0influence foster care systems, influence schools, churches and often corporations.\\u201d\\xa0

Episode Description:\\xa0We begin by recalling Dr. Kliman\'s 92nd birthday request of inviting trainees to participate in his work with the Harlem Family Institute and the Harlem Psychoanalytic Institute. He presents clinical examples especially around the issue of giving voice to those who suffered trauma. His teaching includes demonstrating how an analyst engages with the legal system in order to seek justice for ignored victims. We also discuss his recent thinking on PTSD and the altruistic communicative aspects of otherwise individually disabling symptoms. We close with his sharing with us his precarious health, the impact of his Holocaust family history, and the usefulness of his current analysis.\\xa0
