What drives destructive behavior, especially when it emerges collectively? And what is the role of psychoanalysis in this context?
In this lecture, Jungian psychoanalyst Claudio Mele explores the unconscious roots of collective destructiveness. Grounded in analytical psychology, he encourages attentive listening to psychic suffering as it manifests within society and culture. The talk also examines the analyst’s responsibility not only within the consulting room but as a critical participant in the world around us.
