The psychological meanings of our current political culture: views from Latin America
Get PDFThis paper, written by a Latin American historian and psychoanalyst, accounts for the factors responsible for current United States foreign policy, which is contributing to the intensification rather than the amelioration of dangerous political and military tensions throughout the world. It offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the growing contradictions in United States class society that represent the context for the particular ways that the traumatic events of 9/11 were experienced by citizens and used by the Bush administration in its manipulation of the public's fears and anxieties for its own ideological ends. It shows how primitive mental states among both leaders and citizens have profoundly thwarted the ability of the country to sustain democracy and national security at home or to fashion a strategy to diminish antagonisms toward the world's only superpower. The author analyses the history of exploitative United States attitudes and policies toward Latin America as the backdrop for assessing the prevailing critical views throughout the subcontinent of the United States ‘war on terror’, which is seen in part as the continuation of the drive to expand geopolitical and military control throughout the Global South
Neither liberty nor safety: the impact of fear on individuals, institutions,and societies, part II
Get PDFThis is the second in a series of four papers that look at the ways that minds and bodies of individuals are affected by severe stress and use that as a way of developing a deeper understanding of what happens to stressed individuals who come together to form stressed organizations and the impact of this stress on organizational leaders. The series will also explore the parallel process that occurs when traumatized individuals and stressed organizations come together to form stressed societies. Part I focused on the basic human stress response. In Part II, we will begin exploring the more extended impact of severe, chronic, and repetitive exposure to stress on the functioning of the emotional system, the ways in which human beings tend to adapt to adversity and thus come to normalize highly abnormal behaviour
Language of war, language of peace and its application to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict
Get PDFIf we are serious about resolving conflict, we would benefit from addressing the language we use and how our words have the potential to stimulate and contain violence. This paper examines what lies beneath the surface when we use language and how we need a deeper understanding of its use. Language affects thoughts, attitudes and responses and leadership requires a maturity that is not about blame, retribution and cycles of violence
