Hating in the First Person Plural

by Donald Moss

In introducing this collection of 13 recently published essays, Moss (New York U. Psychoanalytic Institute) argues that psychoanalytic thinking can help us understand such forms of hatred as terrorism. E.g., one contributor probes how dis-identification with the other blocks comprehension of such acts as the September 11, 2001 attacks. Others analyze actual or literary case studies.
