Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego

The book explores the concept of group psychology and its relation to the individual's ego. It argues that groups are formed when individuals identify with a leader who embodies an ideal, and that this identification allows individuals to overcome their feelings of guilt and inadequacy. The leader serves as a substitute for the individual's ego ideal, allowing them to regain a sense of power and importance. However, this process also leads to a loss of individual autonomy and a tendency towards violent behavior. AI Generated Content
