Psychoanalytic Approaches to the Prevention of Violence. The UN in Action

Description

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sigmund Freud, members of the International Psychoanalytical Association and of several non-governmental organizations convened a UN conference to discuss the transmission of prejudice from one generation to the next. This program features notable segments of the 2006 IPA-UN Conference, providing an inside view of efforts to achieve world peace without the use of force. Topics include the influence of culture and trauma in perpetuating violence; the relationship between war, trauma, and the family; the distinction between trans- and intergenerational transmission of trauma; and specific steps that can be taken to break the cycle of intergenerational prejudice.
