"This paper is based on research into European economics and
politics on the basis of ten months travelling in ten countries, as
well as on four workshops run in Europe. Two hypotheses will be
explored: It is possible to discern psychodynamic evidence that
unresolved humiliation trauma is being re-evoked and recycled by
attempts to find solutions and cures through the tyranny of
austerity measures. But the question will be asked whether these
are "chosen trauma" (Volkan, 2010) which may be at the heart of the
foundation matrix (Foulkes, 1973) of the European Community. The
exploration of political and economic leadership in the crisis in
the European Union builds on the notion of society as a large group
proliferating crises of identity. From a systemic perspective it is
possible to analyse the nation states of Europe protesting with
regressive nationalism, refusing collaboration by engaging in
economic warfare while at the same time attempting rescue packages.
The protest could be seen as defensive denial of their humbling at
the hands of the over-ambitious aspects of the European single
currency project and the demise of the potency of the nation state.
The concluding section reflects on these issues and tries to
distinguish the recycling of humiliation trauma from defence
against the experience of being humbled."
