Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego

Siegmund Freud

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego," Sigmund Freud explores the intricate dynamics of group behavior and its effects on individual psychology. Written during a time of burgeoning interest in social psychology and the emergence of modern psychoanalysis, Freud's text delves into the interplay between the individual and the collective, examining the ways in which group identity can shape the ego. His painstaking analysis combines case studies and theoretical insights, revealing how group dynamics can foster both collective actions and deep-seated regression, ultimately illustrating the tensions between personal desires and societal influences. Sigmund Freud, the pioneering Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, developed his theories through a blend of clinical observation and philosophical inquiry. His own experiences with group phenomena in the context of the turbulent early 20th century, marked by World War I and shifting social norms, profoundly influenced his exploration of group psychology. His theoretical innovations aimed not only to uncover the motivations behind human behavior but also to address the implications for social cohesion and conflict. This book is essential for scholars of psychology, sociology, and those interested in the underlying principles of group behavior. Freud's insights remain remarkably relevant, offering a foundation for understanding contemporary social movements, collective behaviors, and the mechanisms of communal identity. Readers will find that this work enriches their appreciation of the complex relationship between the individual psyche and the social fabric.

Mankind in Amnesia

Immanuel Velikovsky

Immanuel Velikovsky called this book the "fulfillment of his oath of Hippocrates—to serve humanity." In this book, he returns to his roots as a psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist, yet not with a single person as his patient but with humanity as a whole. After an extremely revealing overview of the foundations of the various psychoanalytical systems he makes the step into crowd psychology and reopens the case of Worlds in Collision from a totally different point of view: as a psychoanalytical case study. This way he shows that the blatant reactions to his theories (which are still going on today) have not been surprising but are actually inevitable from a psychological perspective—which equally holds for those who have defined our view of the world. At the same time he is able to reclassify the theories of Siegmund Freud and of C. G. Jung by finding a common basis for them. A journey through history, religion, mythology and art shows the overall range of the collective trauma and gives us—the patients—a message of extraordinary urgency and importance for the future.

Wonderstruck - How Wonder and...

Helen De Cruz

Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. 
 
 
 
Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as "that sudden surprise of the soul," this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.

A Teenage Rhapsody 1966 to 1973

R. J. Dickinson

"A Teenage Rhapsody 1966 to 1973" is autobiographical and describes my transition from adolescence to manhood at a time when the shackles of certain traditional social oppressions were been swept aside by optimism for a better future that previous generations were denied. 
That better future started with the phenomenon called 'the teenager' who suddenly had a voice, a voice of freedoms, expression and of influence that helped create the Swinging Sixties. 
I was there, yes I was there. What I was to experience growing up in the suburbs of Leeds at the time the book suggests, was that of hardship, laughter, fun, love and betrayal, juvenile violence and the explosion of alternatives that were now becoming accepted, as inevitable. 
But also what I was experiencing, with the doctrine of Victorian values to keep me out of harm's way, was the freedom, without concern, to wander and explore for endless hours, the labyrinth of streets of back to back terrace houses that offered adventure around every corner. 
The simplicity of life during the time of my teenage years, alongside a commonality of certain basic traditions passed down from generation to generation, that still apply and work regardless of generation. This was liberating, allowing me to develop my mind and character through trial and error at a pace of life that was less demanding and frenzied to what is to arrive in the next century, when all this description will be viewed in the format akin to a Sepia painting hanging with obscurity in a corner of a gallery. 
This story had a need to be told.

Decolonizing Wellness - A...

Dalia Kinsey

The lack of BIPOC and LGBTQ representation in the fields of health and nutrition has led to repeated racist and unscientific biases that negatively impact the very people they purport to help. Many representatives of the increasingly popular body-positivity movement actually add to the body-image concerns of queer people of color by emphasizing cisgender, heteronormative, and Eurocentric standards of beauty. Few mainstream body-positivity resources address the intersectional challenges of anti-Blackness, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, and generational trauma that are at the root of our struggles with wellness and self-care. In Decolonizing Wellness, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help listeners improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, this book is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation. This is a body-positivity and food-freedom book for marginalized folks. It’s a guide to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating. It’s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing.
