In this text, Earl Hopper has made a major contribution to the
understanding of the depth and breadth of individuals and how we
might help them to know more of their patterns of relatedness with
others, inter-personally, socially and culturally. Of particular
note is the open honest manner of his consideration of his
counter-transference and these can be clearly observed in the
abundance of pertinent vignettes. This book draws attention to
theory and practice in relation to a side of therapeutic work
insufficiently attended to and will reward readers at all stages of
professional development. It is written in a clear, accessible
style and manages to convey complex ideas in a readily
comprehensible manner'. - Psychotherapy and politics international
'The Social Unconscious represents a line of thinking whose time
has come. From bullying and youth violence in schools, to bombings
in our cities, to anti-semitic or anti-Muslim activities and other
race or religious hatred, to anxieties, well founded or otherwise,
about immigration - wherever we live, all of us are touched and
shaped by these events... This book draws attention to theory and
practice in relation to a side of therapeutic work insufficiently
attended to and will reward readers at all stages of professional
development. It is written in a clear, accessible style and manages
to convey complex ideas in a readily comprehensible manner.' -
Psychotherapy & Politics International 'Dr Hopper argues for
the awareness of, and training in, the processes of what he terms
the Social Unconscious, for all mental health professionals. Hopper
provides insight into the multiple forces that affect us and how we
may reorganize our constraints. Does Hopper simply find what he is
looking for, or does he discover something new? I recommend readers
take this book of essays seriously and make their own decision.' -
Psychologist - Psychoanalyst 'A very timely selection of papers by
Earl Hopper on a very timely subject... People need to recognize
that we are not merely passive sufferers of our world, rather we
constitute it and have the power to shape it to a great extent.
Much of what goes on in that world is unconscious in spite of the
fact that we make it, therefore the importance of the social
unconscious has been in the centre of Earl's interest for a number
of years, and he has become one of the best known exponents of it.'
- Reflections 'This most timely book - with its ready application
across disciplines in a world fragmented by group-induced conflicts
and traumas - will, no doubt, stimulate many thoughts, feelings and
new possibilities for integration.' - Mark Ettin, Group
Psychotherapist and Group Relations Consultant, USA 'The Social
Unconscious offers a carefully composed selection of the author's
group analytic contributions... the complexities of sociology,
group analysis and psychoanalysis are put in mutually enriching
perspectives.' - Dieter Nitzgen, Psychoanalyst and Group Analyst,
Germany 'This record will be a lasting contribution to the
literature. He movingly records with startling honesty the details
of his family background and current history with poetic grace,
thus applying what he has learned of the social unconscious to his
own practice.' - W. Gordon Lawrence, Group Relations and
Organizational Consultant, UK 'Earl Hopper's writing contributes a
penetrating and unique view of pathology rooted in society as well
as in the individual psyche.' - Dennis Brown, Psychoanalyst and
Group Analyst, UK The social unconscious and its manifestations in
group analysis are the focus of this important new book of Earl
Hopper's selected papers. Drawing on sociology, psychoanalysis and
group analysis, he argues that groups and their participants are
constrained unconsciously by social, cultural and political facts
and forces. These hypotheses are illustrated with clinical
vignettes concerning anti-Semitism, racism, the politics of class
and gender, and the effects of rapid social change. Transference
and countertransference processes are examined both vividly and
honestly. Theoretically generative and clinically astute, this book
will be of value to both analysts and their stud
