Group Psychology and Democracy: Screening the Documentary War Game
$15.00 - $25.00
We are excited to offer an in-person film screening to orient our reflections on psychoanalytic thinking, political polarization, and group psychology. The effects of group psychology on democratic politics is palpable in our society and, for clinicians, in our consulting rooms. The conscious and unconscious forces that move us as individuals move us also as groups. War Game is a documentary by a nonpartisan veterans' group about a simulated political crisis, with real politicians and civil servants, that tests the robustness of our democratic guardrails in the face of disputed election results. We will use some brief remarks to situate our viewing of the film with respect to the effects of unconscious processes on the psyche, with encouragement to take up our own roles in creating civil discourse between ourselves and with our patients. Regardless of our perspectives, how can we pursue the common good?
