The 1047th Scientific Program Meeting:
“Applied Analysis in Global Diplomacy”
Tuesday, March 30, 2021
8:00 – 10:00 pm (EST)
Presenter: Vamik Volkan, M.D.
To be followed by a discussion with Henry Nunberg, M.D.
Unconscious factors undoubtedly play a role, and most likely a major role, in matters of global democracy. This meeting will entail a presentation by Dr. Vamik Volkan focused on the intertwining of shared external events and individual and large-group psychology. Starting with Sigmund Freud psychoanalysts have written about cultural, historical and religious topics. But these topics were avoided by most classical psychoanalysts while they were sitting behind their analysands. This situation has changed. Dr. Volkan will present cases to illustrate how shared traumas at the hand of Others influence a person’s internal world. Then he will describe how members of an ethnic, national, religious or ideological large group, under certain situations, are obliged to protect and maintain their large-group identity and their borders. Dr. Volkan’s presentation will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Henry Nunberg on what is conscious and what is unconscious in this arena. Also to be explored is the question of whether what is unconscious can be modified by experience and how we might characterize the relationship between psychodynamic factors and relations between nations.
2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits will be offered. See details below.
