DESCRIPTION:View the full series here (https://psychoanalysis.
 org.uk/civicrm-event/1989)\, and access and block 
 booking discount. \n \n \n \n Join us for the next
  instalment of our Political Mind series\, with a 
 panel of speakers: Mark Goldblatt\, Dr Anna Harvey
 \, Prof. Mark Freestone and Prof. Fanny Guglielmuc
 chi. \n \n \n \n The mind processes influences fro
 m internal drives\, self-judgment\, and external r
 eality by making compromises\, which lead to style
 s of functioning or symptom formation. Compromise 
 formations are also evident in interpersonal trans
 actions\, as individuals\, in small and large grou
 ps\, advocate for positions within their relationa
 l contexts to enable coexistence between rival fac
 tions. More recently\, in the context of political
  governance\, compromises have come to be viewed a
 s evidence of weakness\, an abandonment of princip
 les\, hindering rather than facilitating the attai
 nment of goals. Superego support for gratification
  of sadistic desires produces perverse pleasure in
  cruelty. Small or large groups that seek to funct
 ion without the need for compromise lead to author
 itarianism with pleasure in brutality. In this dis
 cussion\, we examine the consequences of internal 
 and interpersonal negation and distortion of compr
 omise\, which lead to sadism\, cruelty\, and perve
 rsion in individuals and to societal authoritarian
 ism.\n \n \n \n \n Please note: This event will be
