Abstract
We must confess that for all of us Rafael Moses had served as the main inspiration for the idea of the Vienna conference. He has been among the early pioneers of the application of psychoanalytic ideas to long-term political conflicts, and has been widely recognized as a world leader in this field, even though most psychoanalysts have kept their distance from such efforts. Moses took a clear stand in opposition to separating the public and the private spheres in psychoanalytic interpretation. Some of his psychoanalytic colleagues had found this nothing less than stunning, but he kept on working. Since the 1960s he has been actively involved in thinking and writing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and about the unconscious aspects of all social conflicts. Eventually, his work became internationally recognized and appreciated.
