The Suffering Stranger
Winner of the 2012 Gradiva Award!
Utilizing the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer and the ethics of Emmanuel Lévinas, The Suffering Stranger invigorates the conversation between psychoanalysis and philosophy, demonstrating how each is informed by the other and how both are strengthened in unison. Orange turns her critical (and clinical) eye toward five major psychoanalytic thinkers - Sándor Ferenczi, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, D. W. Winnicott, Heinz Kohut, and Bernard Brandchaft - investigating the hermeneutic approach of each and engaging these innovative thinkers precisely as interpreters, as those who have seen the face and heard the voice of the other in an ethical manner. In doing so, she provides the practicing clinician with insight into the methodology of interpretation that underpins the day-to-day activity of analysis, and broadens the scope of possibility for philosophical extensions of psychoanalytic theory.

Nourishing the Inner Life of Clinicians and Humanitarians
Winner of the Clinical catergory of the American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize for best books published in 2016
Nourishing the Inner Life of Clinicians and Humanitarians: The Ethical Turn in Psychoanalysis, demonstrates the demanding, clinical and humanitarian work that psychotherapists often undertake with fragile and devastated people, those degraded by violence and discrimination. In spite of this, Donna M. Orange argues that there is more to human nature than a relentlessly negative view. Drawing on psychoanalytic and philosophical resources, as well as stories from history and literature, she explores ethical narratives that ground hope in human goodness and shows how these voices, personal to each analyst, can become sources of courage, warning and support, of prophetic challenge and humility which can inform and guide their work. Over the course of a lifetime, the sources change, with new ones emerging into importance, others receding into the background.
Donna Orange uses examples from ancient Rome (Marcus Aurelius), from twentieth century Europe (Primo Levi, Emmanuel Levinas, Dietrich Bonhoeffer), from South Africa (Nelson Mandela), and from nineteenth century Russia (Fyodor Dostoevsky). She shows how not only can their words and examples, like those of our personal mentors, inspire and warn us; but they also show us the daily discipline of spiritual self-care, although these examples rely heavily on the discipline of spiritual reading, other practitioners will find inspiration in music, visual arts, or elsewhere and replenish the resources regularly.
Nourishing the Inner Life of Clinicians and Humanitarians will help psychoanalysts to develop a language with which to converse about ethics and the responsibility of the therapist/analyst. This is an exceptional contribution highly suitable for practitioners and students of psychoanalysis and psychothe

The Seduction of Mystical Monisms: A Temptation for Human Dignity–Oriented Therapies
In Adolf Hitler in der Geschichte [Adolf Hitler in History], philosopher Hermann Schmitz traces the occidental history of ideas—the situation—that he believes made Hitler a matter of course and his phobic hatred of the Jews unsurprising. Drawing heavily on Hitler's speeches, he attempts to show that the new phenomenology he has created will complete the work that the National Socialists failed to finish. It is unclear whether Schmitz wrote this book after the Historikerstreit ([historian's quarrel]: an intellectual and political controversy in West German of the late 1980s about how best to remember Nazi Germany and the Holocaust) to minimize the Holocaust, a word he uses only for German suffering, or to illustrate his own theory of atmospheres and situations, or both. In either case, this book should give pause to psychotherapists looking to the “New Phenomenology” for theoretical novelty or conceptual inspiration.

Introduction to Papers from the Conference Dionysius' Ear: Trauma, Tragedy, and Psychoanalytic Listening
In this paper I describe the origin and spirit of the meeting of about 200 European, Israeli, and American psychoanalysts for a week in Siracusa, Sicily, to consider our work as embedded in our Greco-Roman cultural roots while we reveled, Dionysius-like, in that culture in many forms: drama, archeology, food, wine, and music. Organized by five institutes and hosted by ISIPSé (Rome), in June 2004, this meeting revolved around evening performances of Medea and Oedipus Rex in the ancient Greek theater and was entitled \"Dionysius' Ear: Trauma, Tragedy, and Psychoanalytic Listening.\"
