Wars are an expression of power-political, ideological and economic
conflicts of interest. Behind it, however, there are certain
functions that require careful analysis. The psychoanalyst Stavros
Mentzos develops the thesis that narcissistic needs and deficits
are compensated in armed conflicts. Inner conflicts, identity
crises, depression, feelings of senselessness are shifted outwards.
Contrary to the opinion of the majority of psychoanalysts, for
Mentzos the human instinct for aggression is not the central motive
of war, even if it is used as a support for the warlike act. If one
looks at the psychosocial dimension of wars, there is also hope for
a change in consciousness that can contribute to war prevention,
which may one day help overcome the anachronistic institution of
war. The new version of Mentzos' important work continues apart
from the terrifying topicality of the topic.
