The focus of this book is on a deeper understanding of the world in which we live. Societal and political events examined and explained include colonialism, racism, societal and national divisions, the emergence of right-wing parties in Europe, religious fundamentalism, street gangs, trade union activities, and mental health services. Psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically informed contributors also explore the psychology of whistle-blowers, how certain traumatic experiences in childhood affect the development of cruel political leaders' personality organisation, the impact of different losses on societal movements, the relationship between internal values and external rules, and psychoanalytic activism. Reading this far-reaching book will be an enriching experience and I believe it will help the reader think about how the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will influence shared human behaviour.

‘As with the first volume, this book offers us a valuable way to approach politics and delivers – as the title says – a deeper cut.’

I highly recommend this book; it has helped me to keep thinking while listening to the news, to recognise projective patterns in political events, to value complexity over splitting, and, above all, to treasure negative capability – the capacity to tolerate uncertainty.
