PSYCHOANALYSIS OF REALITY
The PSYCHOANALYTIC REVOLUTION is not over, rather has only just begun. Heretofore psychoanalysis focused within the clinical situation. Now, however, it's obvious that psychopathology--unconscious fantasies and profound, deeply-rooted anxieties--are happening everywhere; in the external world as well as the internal world.  This is not "applied psychoanalysis." It is Possible to "see" the fantasies and desires as they are projected into the external world. When Hitler said that Austria must "return to the German motherland;" when Putin says that Ukraine cannot be allowed to separate from "mother Russia," these are not "mere" metaphors. Neurosis (and psychosis) are not simply within the psyched of individuals. 

We witness now collective neurosis and shared psychosis. We've heard  these concepts before. But now we're at the tipping point. The next phase of the psychoanalytic revolution is happening now. Help establish the foundation! The eBook of Hitler's Ideology: A Study in Psychoanalytic Sociology is priced at only (same contents as the hardcover and paperbound editions). Please participate in this second phase of the psychoanalytic revolution. Society is approaching a state of chaos. We must share the knowledge that only psychoanalysis can provide. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND ORDER NOW.

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC INTERPRETATION OF REALITY
Richard A. Koenigsberg
"Adolf Hitler, Doctor of
the German People."
From Die Volksgesundheitwacht, 1935
Nazi ideology was constituted by a fantasy projected into reality. The first part of Hitler's fantasy was his conception of Germany as a living organism. The second part was his belief that the nation was suffering from a disease that would prove fatal unless radical actions were undertaken.

Hitler identified Jews as the source or cause of Germany's disease. Jews were pathogenic microorganisms whose continuing presence within the nation would lead to its demise. It was therefore necessary--to cure Germany's disease—to eliminate Jews from within the body politic. The Nazi movement was conceived as a struggle of life against death; between the healthy German organism and the viral Jewish element.

Hitler's Ideology

 

Why did Hitler initiate the Final Solution and take Germany to war? Based on analysis of Hitler’s rhetoric—the words, images and metaphors contained within his writing and speeches—Koenigsberg’s reveals the “hidden narratives” that were the source of genocide. Hitler’s actions—the history he created—followed based on his fantasy that by destroying "Jewish bacteria” Germany might live forever.

Reviews

"It is Koenigsberg's achievement to have established that the origins of Hitler's ideology and of all nationalisms lie in unconscious fantasies projected into reality. This work deserves to be an instant classic. Koenigsberg's genius has unlocked many of the unconscious secrets of a timeless drama." Howard F. Stein, Professor of Anthropology, Univ. of Oklahoma.

The best critical analysis in English of Hitler’s thought.—Colin Day

"Koenigsberg's remarkable research is supported by an astonishing number of convergent quotations." Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel, Int. Review of Psychoanalysis
