In an age continuously shaped and shocked by wars and societal crises, this book serves as an antidote to superficial media frenzy.

Exploring the interplay between the insights from analytical psychology and global dynamics, it unravels the meanings behind our shared fears and invites readers to confront challenging truths shaping our present and future. Part I of this book explores the multifaceted aspect of war, as Stefano Carpani interviews authoritative figures from the fields of Jungian psychoanalysis, sociology, history, and religion. Their insights shed light on the meaning of war, the concept of fatherland, the masculine nature of war, and the potential for total conflict. In Part II of the book, Jungian therapists reflect on their experiences, offering insights into the impact of war on the field of analysis, presenting a comprehensive exploration of war from interdisciplinary perspectives. The contributions touch upon themes like the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, healing through arts-based research, violence practiced by the state in Argentina, sexual violence, and the effect of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on Irish society.

This book proposes that war can serve as a reset mechanism, and that our era can be termed the one of hypocrisy. It will be of interest to academics, scholars, and students within the fields of analytical psychology, psychosocial studies, psychoanalysis, and sociology.
