Few, but increasingly more psychosocial psychoanalytic writers are taking up how socially shaped unconscious processes emerge and are worked with in the clinic.– In this chapter, I review some of the psychosocial psychoanalytic theory that has informed clinical work, including the work of Fanon, Fromm, liberation psychologists, psychoanalytic feminist theorists, and critical race theorists. My focus is on how concepts that bridge the psychic and the social, without reducing one to the other, have found their way into clinical theory and practice.– The chapter surveys a few different conceptualizations of what is meant by clinical social psychoanalysis and then focuses more specifically on what I have called >normative unconscious processes,< my own attempt conceptually to bridge these domains. Extending Fromm’s concepts of social unconscious and social character, I argue that a properly psychosocial psychoanalysis must account for the ways that patients’ and therapists’ intersectional social locations (e.g., class, race, gender, sexuality), as they are lived and enacted within particular power relations and histories, unconsciously and consciously emerge in the clinic, at times reproducing, and at times countering what Fromm called the >pathology of normalcy.< Given the current conjuncture, particular attention will be paid to neoliberal subject formations as they are met with in the clinic. The chapter concludes with a review of recent clinical papers that offer ways to counter the reproduction of normative unconscious processes. Y1 - 2023 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Weber, Wolfgang G.

Against the background of this evolving scientific field, in this extended version of my opening speech at the first International Conference on Critical and Radical Humanist Work and Organizational Psychology, held from 11th to 13th of July 2022 at the University of Innsbruck, I aim to address the following three questions: (1) What concepts may be relevant for critical work and organizational psychology in analyzing established „mainstream“ (i.e., hegemonic) conceptualizations within work and organizational psychology? (2) Cui bono, critical work and organizational psychology? – To what ethical foundations do (or can) representatives of critical work and organizational psychology refer to when they intend to criticize theory and practice in work and organizational psychology? (3) What do we know about work and organizations beyond domination, subjectification and social alienation? – About fractals of a humanist, socially sustainable economy. Preliminary answers to these questions and implications for the future of critical work and organizational psychology will be discussed.

N2 - [Chinese abstract not available] Since the 18th National Congress, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new historical stage, and people’s quality of life and sense of well-being have been significantly improved in the midst of continuous economic and social development. The profound changes in the main social contradictions in the new era have brought profound changes in people’s consumption concepts, and such changes are especially evident among adolescent students. Due to their special teaching mode, secondary rural students have their own characteristics in their consumption behavior. The selected topic takes secondary rural students as the research object and school X in central Hunan as the research site, mainly studying the alienation phenomenon in the consumption behavior of rural students in this school, which includes the investigation of the current situation of consumption, the manifestation of the alienation of consumption behavior, the harm of the alienation of consumption behavior, the causes, and how to carry out the guidance and correction of errors based on the perspective of classroom management in response to these problems, and putting forward effective educational guidance countermeasures, and devoting to help them to establish correct consumption concepts and realize the healthy growth of rural middle school students. The literature research method, survey research method, and statistical analysis method were adopted for the selected study. The literature research method mainly uses Baudrillard’s symbolic consumption, Fromm’s critical theory of alienated consumption, Marxist view of consumption, Skinner’s reinforcement theory, and defines the concepts related to consumption, alienated consumption, and secondary school rural students, and uses these theories to analyze the consumption alienation behavior of rural students in secondary schools, the survey research method mainly conducts targeted questionnaires and interviews on the consumption behavior of rural students in school X in central Hunan. The statistical analysis method is to use the statistical method to analyze and categorize the research situation. Through the study, we found that the phenomenon of consumer alienation among secondary rural students is more common, and the generation of this phenomenon is closely related to the social environment and also closely related to the guidance of school education. School is a place to cultivate talents, and it is the duty of secondary schools to guide rural students to form a correct view of consumption. From the perspective of class, to eliminate the alienation of consumption behavior of rural secondary school students, we must strengthen the educational management awareness of all aspects of class management, clarify the educational management responsibilities, including class teachers, class teachers, class organizations, individual students, etc. and gather the strength of all aspects to form a synergy of educational management, so as to help rural secondary school students form a correct view of consumption and eliminate the phenomenon of alienation in the consumption behavior of rural secondary school students.

[doi.org/10.27328/d.cnki.gshsc.2023.000873] N2 - [Chinese abstract not available] With the rapid development of the Internet and the widespread use of mobile devices, short video applications have become widely available on people’s smartphones, playing an important role in their daily lives. Currently, short video technology is constantly changing and gradually improving its functions, which has greatly enriched people’s daily life, and browsing short videos has become an important way of leisure for people, and the number of short videos has grown geometrically with users, however, short video technology has also produced alienation in this process. This article, based on Marxist humanist thought, Marcuse’s theory of technological alienation, and Fromm’s humanization of technology, delves deeply into the related issues of short video technology alienation and its governance, providing important theoretical guidance and practical reference for the development of short videos.– The specific performance of short video technology alienation is mainly in the following four aspects: First, the thinking alienation caused by short video algorithm recommendation technology, which is mainly reflected in the gradual reduction of people’s logical thinking ability, the weakening of rational judgment ability and the increasing instrumental rationality; second, the aesthetic alienation caused by short video beauty technology, mainly manifested by the objectification of self-aesthetics, the convergence of individual aesthetics and the increasing vulgarization of the mass aesthetic; thirdly, the alienation of values caused by short video rewarding technology is mainly reflected in the formation of wrong career and consumption views by diversified values, the enhancement of utilitarian values and the prevalence of egoistic values; finally, the alienation of self-presentation caused by following technology is mainly reflected in the entertainment and homogenization of self-presentation and the confusion of real self and ideal self. The causes of the problem of short video technology alienation can be attributed to three main aspects. Firstly, on the technological level, the flawed design of short video technology, including structural elements, and the uncertainty of the consequences of its application, have led to the occurrence of short video technology alienation. Secondly, on the subject level, the blind pursuit of profit by the design subject, the value of flow prioritization by the production subject, and the lack of rationality by the application subject have all contributed to the problem. Thirdly, on the social level, the undesirable effect of short video pan-entertainment, the imperfect moral education of short video technology and the unsound social supervision all lead to the alienation of short video technology to a certain extent.– This article analyzes and summarizes the problem of short video technology alienation through the method of literature analysis and the combination of theory and practice. The following measures are proposed: first, technical governance of short video technology alienation by establishing the concept of human-centered design, improving the algorithm recommendation technology system and forming an information filtering ecological environment; second, for individual governance, it is necessary to strengthen the unity of designer’s rights and obligations, promote the unity of author’s subjectivity and initiative, and encourage application users to rationally evaluate technology; third, in terms of social governance, the leading role of values should be improved, the moral education of short video technology should be strengthened, and the social regulation system should be improved. These measures are expected to promote the progress of short video technology and create a healthy short video environment.

N2 - [Chinese abstract not available] Since ancient Greece, philosophers have begun to study and explore freedom, and have defined freedom from different perspectives. Unlike other philosophers, Marx’s interpretation of freedom is based on human practical activity and criticizes freedom in capitalist society in a practical way of thinking. With people engaged in practical activities as the main body, human freedom is realized through practice. In Marx’s idea of freedom, the realization of human freedom and comprehensive development is the main thread running through it. No idea comes out of thin air, and so does Marx’s idea of freedom. Epicurus’ hedonism and the idea of freedom of the individual that is detached from fixation, Locke’s natural idea of freedom of man and nature, Rousseau’s idea of freedom in social opinion and the idea of freedom of the political state, Kant’s free will thought, Hegel’s dialectical idea of freedom, etc. laid the theoretical foundation for Marx’s idea of freedom. Marx’s idea of freedom from the initial appearance, to development, and then to perfection, did not come overnight, but went through a long process. The starting point of Marx’s idea of freedom was the reflection on reality triggered by the atomic deflection of Epicurus. In the process of its formation and development to perfection, it reflects the criticism and transcendence of freedom in capitalist society and the construction of freedom in communist society. From his critique of the censorship of books and newspapers, Marx proposed the freedom of the press and the press, which has a people’s character, is different from the freedom of industry, and is the privilege of human spiritual activities; in his critique of Powell’s political emancipation, he pointed out that political freedom should be liberated from religion, political freedom should be protected by law, and the realization of political freedom also requires the establishment of human rights; in the critique of alienated labor, he pointed out that labor freedom is the fundamental activity of man and the way of existence of man; in his critique of capitalist economic freedom, he pointed out that economic freedom is the realization of freedom in the economic field by people to get rid of the control of alien forces, and the realization of economic freedom cannot be separated from the development of productive forces, the abolition of private ownership and the distribution according to their own ability. Social freedom is the establishment of a true community, the realization of which entails the abolition of classes and the establishment of a union of free men. The highest state of human personality development is the concentrated embodiment of the all-round development of human freedom, and it is also the ultimate goal of Marx’s idea of freedom. Marx’s idea of freedom is very rich in connotation and of great value. Marx’s idea of freedom provided theoretical resources for the concept of freedom in the core values of socialism, and provided important value references for Fromm’s idea of freedom and the idea of human alienation in the Frankfurt School, and Marcuse’s theory of human and social development.

Fromm’s critical inheritance of Hegel’s concept of alienation, Marx’s thought of alienated labor and Freud’s thought of psychoanalysis, timely sublation of Baudrillard’s thought of alienated consumption, and reasonable reference to ecological Marxism’s thought of alienated consumption show the pluralism of his theory of alienated consumption. The logic of capitalist capital and the principle of pursuing profit as well as the reality that human beings are controlled by things and become talking machines in capitalist society are the fundamental reasons for the emergence of alienated consumption. Fromm pays attention to the interpretation of the theory of alienated consumption from the psychological and spiritual dimension and makes an incisive summary of its various manifestations in reality. Fromm focused on the analysis of the reasons for the formation of alienated consumption: one is that the needs of people’s own living environment can not be satisfied; the second is the lack of social life security. Fromm also provides solutions to the problem of alienation consumption that is constructing a harmonious relationship between society and ecology, shaping sound personality psychology and appealing to ecological ethics of humanism. Fromm’s theory of alienated consumption deeply discloses the disadvantages and harms of consumerism and reveals the internal psychological factors of alienated consumption subjects. However, his theory overemphasizes the irrational factors of social development and has a utopian tendency in the assumption of the practice scheme of alienated consumption. It still has reference value for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to correct consumption concept, advocate ecological consumption mode, control delusion and selfish desire, and establish healthy consumption concept.

N2 - Because psychology lacks a comprehensive theory of subjectivity that accounts for the entanglement of the social, cultural, historical, interpersonal, and personal, relevant elements for a theory of subjectivity are identified and presented. An important dimension for a theory of subjectivity is the reality of living everyday life, which includes working, relating, as well as self-processes. However, traditional psychology, including philosophical psychology, has neglected the role of work in mental life. It is argued that it is insufficient to address interaction and relationality or internal processes in the development of a theory subjectivity. Using Hannah Arendt’s and Nancy Fraser’s distinctions, it is argued that political-philosophical reflections on work remain important for understanding subjectivity. Consequences for an approach that includes work in a theory of subjectivity are discussed.

In the context of this study, individuals experience profound feelings of disconnection and estrangement (Kalekin-Fishman, 1998). The objective of this research was to elucidate the diverse causes of alienation depicted in the novel >The Boy in the Striped Pajamas<. Analyzing the reasons for alienation in this literary work could provide deeper insights into how war and human atrocities impact an individual's mental well-being. It also contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the theme of alienation in literary research. The research employed a literature study approach with a psychological perspective, drawing on Erich Fromm's concept of alienation. The primary data source for this study was the novel >The Boy in the Striped Pajamas< by John Boyne, focusing on character dialogues and the author's narration within the story units. The novel, published on 5 January 2006, consists of 216 pages. To analyze the data, the researcher collected, reviewed, identified, organized, and drew conclusions from the gathered information. The findings of this research reveal various causes of alienation present in the characters of Bruno and Shmuel in the novel. These causes included alienation arising from interactions with other people, alienation resulting from societal factors, and alienation stemming from internal struggles within themselves. The exploration of these aspects shed light on the complex psychological impacts of alienation amidst the backdrop of war and its atrocities in the narrative of >The Boy in the Striped Pajamas<.

N2 - The title of this article encapsulates an approach to the notion of the analytic field where the contributions of the Barangers and Bion converge, opening up new perspectives that the author began to explore together with Antonino Ferro in the late 1980s and early 1990s. While the explicit formulation of a bipersonal field model should be credited to the Barangers, it is perhaps less widely known that the term “field” also features in Bion’s writings, with a meaning that is often generic but occasionally bears more specific connotations: for example, when he assimilates the analytic situation into a multidimensional field. In the light of Bion’s theory of thinking, the unconscious dynamics of the analytic field is determined not only by crossed projective identifications, but also by the dream-work of the couple, resulting from the alpha-function of both subjects. Thus, the Barangers’ concept of bastions can be combined with that of functional aggregates (Bezoari and Ferro), understood as animated holograms allowing a shared representation of the ongoing emotional experiences.

To pay homage to this current of thought, this contributed volume aims to make the archives speak for themselves, to show the public the quantity of unpublished material still existing by the authors of the Critical Theory which are now in funds in different parts of the world (in Germany, in Italy, or in the United States), and to show that Critical Theory remains alive 100 years after its inception.– The volume starts by presenting the archives of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the thinkers who inspired Critical Theory, and the archives of the Institute for Social Research itself. Then it dedicates separate sections to the archives of Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Friedrich Pollock, Herbert Marcuse, Leo Löwenthal and Jürgen Habermas. The book is composed of chapters written by researchers and editors who worked in the different fonds, as well as chapters written by or interviews with researchers who were or are in charge of some of the archives, or who are especially familiar with the material.– The Archives of Critical Theory will be an invaluable tool for researchers in many disciplines working with Critical Theory of Society, such as Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Philosophy, History, Education, Law and Cultural Studies, among others. Readers will find information about the content of each archive and the history of its constitution.

N2 - We reflect on the concept of the setting in psychoanalysis, and how it has been radically reconsidered given the impact of the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic on human interactions and moving from face-to-face to online sessions. The rapidity of going from seeking interaction to a fear of possible contagion led some professionals to adopt a sudden change of setting. Although the concept of setting seems to come from the classical Freudian method, Freud never spoke about it explicitly, although it was subsequently developed from his writings. Only in the 1960s and 70s was the setting perceived as the very object of psychoanalytic exploration. Since the psyche in psychoanalysis is conceived as a spatially extended entity, this paper discusses the concepts of space and time (external setting) and the mental state of both the patient and analyst (internal setting). We investigate how these aspects have changed as a result of the use of technology. What changes have taken place at the perceptual level in the patient and analyst? What differences are there with respect to the presence/absence of the other’s body? We use our own reflections of our personal experiences of undergoing face-to-face and online sessions to reveal the differences between them. Y1 - 2023 ER -
