How do cultural complexes affect the collective psyche? Based on
Jung's theory of complexes, this book offers a new perspective on
the psychological nature of conflicts between groups and cultures
by introducing the concept of the cultural complex. This modern
version of Jung's idea offers an original view of the forces that
prevent human attempts to bring a peaceful, collaborative spirit to
conflict between groups. Leading analysts and academics from a
range of cultural backgrounds present their own perspective on the
concept, demonstrating how the effects of cultural complexes can be
felt in the behaviour of disenfranchised, oppressed and traumatised
groups across the world. Ultimately, a clearer understanding of the
source and nature of group conflict is reached through discussion
of central subjects including: * Collective trauma and cultural
complexes * Exploring racism: a clinical example of a cultural
complex * Cultural complexes in the history of Jung, Freud and
their followers. The Cultural Complex represents a valuable
contribution to analytical psychology and will undoubtedly also
stimulate dialogue in the fields of sociology, political science
and cultural studies.
