In the article "Thoughts of a psychoanalyst shortly after the beginning of the war in Ukraine," psychoanalyst Peter Gabriel reflects on the war in Ukraine and the nuclear threat. He emphasizes that illusions about the compatibility and prosociality of humans are naive and that willingness to negotiate and military strength are necessary to avoid a power vacuum. Gabriel argues that it is important to recognize the societal dimension of destructiveness within us humans and that a psychoanalysis that deals with this is in the tradition of Freud. He concludes with an appeal to support the desire for peace and strengthen realism. [Extracted from the article]
