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 a distinctive blend of sociology, psychoanalysis, and group analysis to her study of social formations. This book revisits the epistemological foundations of group analysis, particularly in its relationship to the study of large groups and investigations of the social unconscious in individuals, groups, and societies. It also explores early work on group relations and contemporary research on the basic-assumption group in England, particularly Hoppers theory of Incohesion as a fourth fundamental assumption.
Through its comprehensive coverage, From Crowd Psychology to the Dynamics of Large Groups provides a valuable resource for psychologists, psychoanalysts, group analysts, sociologists, and historians seeking to understand the psychodynamics of contemporary crowds, masses, and social systems. The reflections presented in this book offer fresh perspectives that encourage further exploration and investigation into the complex dynamics of our modern world.
