From Crowd Psychology to the Dynamics of Large Groups is a comprehensive and transdisciplinary exploration of the history of the study of social formations, spanning from nineteenth-century crowd psychology in France to twentieth-century Freudian mass psychology and its developments in critical theory. This book delves into the psychodynamics of contemporary large groups, offering a unique perspective by combining sociology, psychoanalysis, and group analysis.
Author Carla Penna brings together these disciplines to examine the epistemological basis of group analysis, particularly in its relation to the study of large groups and investigations of the social unconscious in individuals, groups, and societies. The book revisits the historical path of group analysis, highlighting its connections with the study of large groups and the exploration of the unconscious. It also delves into early work on group relations and contemporary research on the basic-assumption group in England, particularly Hoppers theory of Incohesion as a fourth basic assumption.
Through its reflections, this book provides new insights for psychologists, psychoanalysts, group analysts, sociologists, and historians to investigate the psychodynamics of contemporary crowds, masses, and social systems. It sheds light on the unconscious life of crowds, illuminating the complexities and dynamics of collective movements in the twenty-first century. By transcending disciplinary boundaries, From Crowd Psychology to the Dynamics of Large Groups offers a rich and multifaceted understanding of social formations and their impact on individuals and societies.
