Series: The New International Library of Group Analysis

The social unconscious is vital for understanding persons and their groupings, ranging from families to societies, committees to organisations, and from small to median to large therapeutic groups, and essential for comprehensive clinical work. This series of volumes of contributions from an international network of psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists, group analysts and psychodramatists draw on the classical ideas of Freud, Klein and Jung, Bion, Foulkes and Moreno, and on contemporary relational perspectives, self-psychology and neuroscience. Volume 2 is concerned mainly with the foundation matrices of the social unconscious. It is focused on topics such as transmission, trauma, the foundation matrix, the social unconscious, the collective unconscious, totalitarianism, massification, and identity formation. It also includes discussions of the foundation matrices of a number of countries including Germany, Brazil, Japan, Israel, Ireland, and the Czech Republic.

Reviews for The Social Unconscious in Persons, Groups, and Societies: Volume 2: Mainly Foundation Matrices

'[McDougall] describes how sufferers play out compulsive scripts in their lives, in their inner words, in their symptoms and in the therapeutic transference. No one has carried through such a dramatic description so thoroughly, so seriously or so evocatively. I have not read for many a day such a clear, vivid and yet realistic evocation of what analytic therapy of any sort is about. If a literate ordinary person asks me for a book that will tell them what analysis is about, I tell them to read Freud's Introductory Lectures. I would now say to read McDougall, at least her case studies, and then read the Introductory Lectures.' - Eric Rayner, British Psycho-Analytical Society
