Psychoanalytic Controversy

Enquiries into virulent identifications

 

ABSTRACT

Unquestioned vicious identifications with dubious (e.g. political) figures seem central in today's multiple crises. As in former dark times, when M. Klein described the dynamics triggered by an ‘inner Hitler', the approach offered in this contribution is to explore present forms, which we meet in the consulting room. As will be shown, a crucial step in this process lies in working through those challenges in the countertranserence.
