Fighting for peace within: The existential-relational positions into which we train soldiers and the challenge of their reaggregation into society
Conspiracy theory vulnerability from a psychodynamic perspective: Considering four epistemologies related to four developmental existential-relational positions
Conspiracy theories command much attention these days. However, the reasons why people come to believe in them is elusive. An overlooked perspective is the developmental one. We propose the importance of looking at the ways our early relationships to “otherness,” authority, and agency inform the different epistemologies or world views that we adopt and, therein, relate to our vulnerability to conspiratorial belief. We describe four existential-re…
Tribalism: Where George Orwell leads us and where an understanding of existential–relational positions extends us
The chaos of our current times raises both concern and interest in tribalism. We look at three types of tribalism. Reflecting the thoughts of George Orwell, we discuss nationalism and patriotism. We then introduce globalism. We offer ideas about how affiliation with one type or another of these types can reflect the existential–relational position that we occupy. To illustrate the complexities of these affiliations we consider the passionate supp…

The Varieties of Procrastination: With Different Existential Positions Different Reasons for it
How self-harmers use the body as an interpretive canvass
This commentary to Arcoverde, Amazonas, and de Lima builds off their advice to psychologists to attend to the varied and multiple meanings of self-harming conduct. Its focus is on how in the absence of the ability to symbolically communicate, self-harmers use their bodies to communicate the need to make meaning of their experiences (emotional, interpersonal, and cognitive). The physical usage of the body challenges the therapeutic field, providin…
The role of projective identification in constructing the “Other”: Why do Westerners want to “liberate” Muslim women
This commentary offers a cultural psychological understanding of the traditionally psychoanalytic notion of projective identification to explore the ironic way that majority and minority cultures can influence each other. In the target paper (Wagner, Sen, Permanadeli, & Howarth, 2012), the Western gaze operates ironically by constructing minority Muslim women as needing liberation. This leads to their resistance, through increased religious obser…
The un-making of a method: From rating scales to the study of psychological processes
Rating scales are standard instruments in psychology. They force the research participant to provide a numerical estimate of an assumed “degree” of some characteristic along a linear scale. We prove that such numerical estimates are artifacts based on unknown psychological processes that are used in the making of a rating. Psychology’s current use of rating scales entails reliance upon unexplored and abbreviated introspection. It superimposes upo…
