The latest VOICES FROM ROOM Podcast – with Adrienne Harris
Click Here to Listen To: Episode 5 of Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action, “Stepping into the Line of Fire with Adrienne Harris” is now available wherever you listen to podcasts.
This week, Isaac and Aneta talk with Dr. Adrienne Harris about her timely piece, “My Back-Alley Abortion.” They discuss Harris’s personal experience, the implications of overturning Roe v. Wade, and what it means to step into the line of fire as a politically engaged clinician.
“How do we go forward maintaining the deep capacity for supporting other women that feminism and the women’s movement gave us? How not to live always alone in a frightening and dangerous room? That is one of my worries for the women, now three generations younger than me, who have an increasingly shaky access to means of being in control of their bodily, sexual, and reproductive lives. And as we learn, over and over, that danger falls unequally on women of different classes, races, social groups, and castes. We-all women-are again at the mercy of the “back alley,” but we are not equally vulnerable.” – Harris, ROOM 10.22, “My Back-Alley Abortion”

Above are two clusters of chapters from a unique psychological novel, “people don’t drown in living rooms”. Written in two voices, in the form of epistolary exchanges between analyst and patient, this book is unique in its form as well as in its contextual content. Touching on the complexity of emotional and physical boundaries between therapist and client, through the tumultuous arena of erotic transference – as Danielle Knafo, professor, psychoanalyst and author, commented “This book teaches us more about the intensity of the love-hate dynamics that exist between patient and analyst than any journal article on the subject”.
This book was written by two authors; Dr. Orna Reuven, a psychoanalyst and lecturer from the Tel-Aviv Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and Dr. Yair Eldan, a lecturer of law from The Hebrew University, who together embarked on an adventure knowing how it would begin but with no view of where it would end.
