The Mexican social unconscious: ‘Confusion of tongues’ in tripartite matrices of colonized countries. Response to ‘The Mexican social unconscious—Part I: The roots of a nation’ and ‘Part II: Politics …
This response is based on Reyna Hernández de Tubert two articles: The Mexican social unconscious—Part I: The roots of a nation’ and ‘Part II: Politics and group analysis’ (Hernández de Tubert, 2021). It discusses the role of the myth of mestization and the myth of conquest in the Mexican social unconscious in Mexican tripartite matrices. It also draws attention to Ferenczi’s trauma theory—confusion of tongues—exploring the psychoanalytic and grou…

Psychosocial approaches to mass hysteria phenomena: A case study in Mozambique
This article has two aims. First, it will provide an overview of hysteria and mass hysteria phenomena throughout history, by exploring the psychosocial elements underneath selected historical episodes such as medieval ‘dance plagues’ and ‘Loudun possessions’ (1632–34), but also by presenting recent social-psychiatric and epidemiological case analysis on the topic. Second, it will present and discuss an episode of what could be described as mass h…
Julio de Mello Filho (1933–2018)
The Ghost Matrix
This article will discuss the challenges of psychodynamic work in health care organizations, through exploring shifts around the idea of death faced in western societies—and relating them to unconscious cultures and defences erected against the fear of death and fear of annihilation in medical organizations. It will also present the vicissitudes of an inpatient group analytic group conducted in the cardiology ward of a general hospital in Brazil,…
Homo Clausus, Homo Sacer, Homines Aperti: Challenges for Group Analysis in the 21st-Century. A Response to Haim Weinberg’s 40th Foulkes Lecture
In this response I will bring the historical roots of the modern individualism and Norbert Elias conceptualizations on Homo Clausus and Homines Aperti—also introducing as Agamben’s discussion on Homo Sacer and other forms of human and societal prejudice and exclusion—to criticize contemporary individualism and discuss the challenges for group analysis in the 21st-century. I build on Haim Weinberg’s concerns on ‘Impossible groups that Flourish in …
Reflexões em Torno do Conceito de Inconsciente Social

Dentro dessa perspectiva, este trabalho tem o objetivo de introduzir a discussão sobre o conceito de inconsciente social rastreand…
