Religious and national radicalism in Middle-Eastern countries: A psychoanalytical point of view

Pages 120-122 | Published online: 18 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

This article explores the Adlerian concept of inferiority complexes that serve as a possible source of unconscious motivation for religious and national radicalism. The Middle-Eastern countries of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey serve as examples. Religious extremism and national radicalism are described as a result of the overcompensation of underlying inferiority complexes caused by belonging to ethnic and religious minorities.

Hasanov E. Religiöser und nationaler Radikalismus in den Ländern des Mittleren Ostens: Ein psychoanalytischer Standpunkt

Dieser Artikel untersucht Adlers Konzept des Minderwertigkeitskomplexes im Hinblick auf eine mögliche unbewusste Motivation für religiösen und nationalen Radikalismus. Die Länder Iran, Irak, Syrien und Türkei dienen als Beispiele. Religiöser Extremismus und nationaler Radikalismus werden verstanden als Resultat einer Überkompensation eines Minderwertigkeitskomplexes, der auf der Zugehörigkeit zu ethischen und religiösen Minderheiten beruht.
