Schwerpunkt: Epidemie und Emotion
Psychotherapy science is concerned with psychotherapeutic situations and the study of social conditions that affect or promote mental health. This article focuses in particular on research into the socio-cultural factors that influence people on an individual and societal level. The focus on the psychodynamic phenomenon of repetition compulsion is here extended to social phenomena by considering family, socio-cultural, geopolitical and historical contexts. A prominent example is the role of populist reactions to the Corona pandemic, which reinforced regressive tendencies and divisions within society through the loss of the establishment’s containing function and through destructive containing of anti-establishment groups.
Keywords: Mental health, Corona pandemic, socio-cultural factors, repetition compulsion, destructive containing
