Book description
The social unconscious is vital for understanding persons and their
groupings, ranging from families to societies, committees to
organisations, and from small to median to large therapeutic groups, and
essential for comprehensive clinical work. This series of volumes of
contributions from an international network of psychoanalysts,
analytical psychologists, group analysts and psychodramatists draw on
the classical ideas of Freud, Klein and Jung, Bion, Foulkes and Moreno,
and on contemporary relational perspectives, self-psychology and
neuroscience. Volume I is concerned mainly with the theory of the social
unconscious. It is focused on topics such as location, sociality, the
social brain, identity, ideology, the foundation matrix, social
psychological retreats, false collective self-objects, the collective
unconscious and its archetypes and social dreaming.
