The Social Unconscious in Persons, Groups, and Societies, Vols. 1-3 by Earl Hopper, Haim Weinberg
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 mb
Overview: The social unconscious is vital for understanding persons and their groupings, ranging from families to societies, committees to organisations, and from small to median to large therapeutic groups, and essential for comprehensive clinical work. This series of volumes of contributions from an international network of psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists, group analysts and psychodramatists draw on the classical ideas of Freud, Klein and Jung, Bion, Foulkes and Moreno, and on contemporary relational perspectives, self-psychology and neuroscience.

Vol. 1: Mainly Theory
Volume 1 is concerned mainly with the theory of the social unconscious. It is focused on topics such as location, sociality, the social brain, identity, ideology, the foundation matrix, social psychological retreats, false collective self-objects, the collective unconscious and its archetypes and social dreaming.
Vol.2: Mainly Foundation Matrices
As late as 1994, Brown and Zinkin observed that the theoretical basis of the concept of the foundation matrix, as "… laid down by its initiator, S. H. Foulkes involves the recognition of the deeply social nature of the human personality". The problem has been, and continues to be, that despite these intimations of theoretical models and conceptual schemes for the comparative study of foundation matrices, or even the study in depth of any one of them, much of this work has proved to be too abstract and too general to offer more than a guideline, or perhaps a checklist, concerning the basic social, cultural, and communicational phenomena that must be taken into account. It is for this reason that we continue to be engaged in the development of more sophisticated and pragmatic models for the study of foundation matrices specifically and for the study of the social unconscious in general.
Vol. 3: The Foundation Matrix Extended and Re-configured
In this volume, the authors develop the theory of the tripartite matrix, consider music as a form of non-verbal communication as a sub-dimension of the matrix, and present empirical studies of the matrices of peoples in three societies in the Middle East. It aids in the project of group analysis.
