This important book gathers a set of influential international
contributors with psychoanalytic and group analytic knowledge to
provide a wide-ranging critical analysis of the present state of
Europe. Europe is facing huge challenges: waves of immigrants are
reshaping its identity and testing its tolerance; Brexit is a
destabilizing factor and its outcomes are not yet clear; economic
crises continue to threaten; the resurgence of nationalism is
threatening an open-borders one-continent ideology. This book
tackles some of these challenges. Divided into two parts, the first
analyses the current social, political, cultural and economic
trends in Europe using psychoanalytic and group analytic concepts,
while the second concentrates on existing applications of
psychoanalytic and group analytic concepts to help manage national
and international change in individual countries as well as on the
continent as a whole, including groups for German, Ukrainian and
Russian participants; groups organised in Serbia in order to
overcome the recent, traumatic past; and the "Sandwich model",
developed to enhance communication in situations of conflict,
trauma and blocked communication. When we feel threatened, we cling
to our in-group and its members. We want to think the same and be
the same as our neighbors, but this group illusion of homogeneity
conceals the fact that we are different. While homogeneity offers
stability, it is diversity that offers freedom. This book will be
of great interest to researchers on the present state of Europe
from across a range of different disciplines, from psychoanalysis
to politics, sociology, economics and international relations.
