How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Bearing Witness as a Research Methodmethodology: bearing_witnessBy using "bearing witness" — a method grounded in the researcher’s self-awareness of transference, projection, and emotional response — the organization analyzes the psychological impact of atrocity and chaos, because this introspective engagement allows access to unconscious dynamics that objective observation alone cannot reveal.
- Developmental Determinism in Societal Formationmethodology: developmental_determinismBy asserting that early childhood experiences and caregiving environments fundamentally shape individual and societal development, the organization explains cultural and political pathologies as downstream effects of developmental trauma, because pre-oedipal and attachment dynamics become internalized and reproduced at scale in institutions and national behaviors.
- Intersubjective Psychoanalytic Modelingmethodology: intersubjective_psychoanalytic_modelBy using an intersubjective model that integrates unconscious processes across individuals and groups, the organization locates the origins of personal and political dynamics in relational psychodynamics, because shared psychological structures — formed in early attachment — are projected onto social and political systems.
- Literary-Psychohistorical Interpretationmethodology: literary-psychohistorical_analysisBy analyzing literary works through a psychohistorical lens, the organization uncovers unconscious psychological conflicts — such as identity formation, memory, and resistance to dehumanizing systems — because literature serves as a cultural repository of shared emotional experience and symbolic resistance to societal trauma.
- Psychohistorical Analysis of Political and Social Behaviormethodology: psychohistorical_analysisBy applying psychoanalytic theory to political and social phenomena, the organization seeks to explain collective behaviors — such as war, authoritarianism, and disinformation — as rooted in early developmental trauma and unconscious group dynamics, because these psychological origins shape societal patterns more fundamentally than surface-level ideologies or rational policy decisions.
