Aprašymas

Cultural attitudes are absorbed into our individual concepts of self, and most often we are unaware of the ways in which we have been acculturated. As a consequence, these cultural attitudes operate unconsciously, affecting our own self-perception as well as the way we perceive others. In Phantom Narratives: The Unseen Contributions of Culture to Psyche, Samuel Kimbles argues that it is imperative for a society to question its cultural complexes in order to fully engage the problems a society faces. On an individual level, cultural complex awareness and analysis can permit us to explore the most private and subjective psychic experiences of intergenerational complexes. On a collective level, analysis can alleviate social suffering and other psychic disturbances of the human condition. --Thomas Ogden, MD, The Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California
