Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse by Sigmund Freud
"Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse" by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the dynamics of group psychology and the impact of the individual psyche within social contexts. In it, Freud explores how the formations of mass and collective behaviors affect individual identity and actions, emphasizing the psychological transformations that occur when individuals are absorbed into a larger group setting. The beginning of this workintroduces the fundamental concepts separating individual psychology from mass psychology, arguing that social influences and connections are intrinsic to the individual psyche. Freud discusses the inherent contradictions between individual desires and the collective mindset, setting the stage for the exploration of the 'mass soul.' He references the theories of Gustave Le Bon, who posits that individuals in a mass can exhibit fundamentally different emotions and actions than when isolated. This opening portion serves as a prelude to a comprehensive examination of mass behaviors, suggesting that understanding these collective phenomena is essential for fully appreciating the complexities of human psychology.
