Are Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Guilt Still Relevant in the Culture of Narcissism?

Is Tragic Man Guilty? Superego as aggression turned on self or deployed against scapegoats. Authoritarians marching under the banner of the superego.

    Having worked with Alzheimer’s patients, I agree with your comment re the culture. The exhaustion that these patients are capable of inflicting is now a feature of collective life too.

    This was indeed incredibly valuable. It is important, I opine, to see that we access our conscience in varying degrees. Someone who is completely or almost completely disconnected from conscience--say the malignant narcicisst--exists on the opposite side of a spectrum compared to someone who fully or almost fully lives in and through his conscience--i.e. an enlightened being. Somewhere along the line when we become deeply guided by conscience and the ego drives dissolves, the superego will inevitably begin to fall apart. To talk about modulation of the superego rather than its dissolution is limited, but perhaps understandable to some extent since very few are called to pursue the depts of inquiry required for enlightenment. In my experience there is, furthermore, ultimately no real difference between the patterns of the superego and resistence against more primitive energies and impulses. As long as there is resistance in the body, and to some subtle extent there will always be, there will be fragments of the superego. The two are simply two sides of the same coin. And the coin is itself ultimately the effort to control, or if you like the illusion to control. At a certain stage and depth of development, however, the conscience takes over the movement of the soul and it gradually unwinds the ego knots that remain. Conscience is thus the immovable mover. How closely we come to God is, ultimately, a matter of grace, not human aspirations, altough the latter are critical until they no longer are. Thanks for the great overview and input!

    Thank you professor Carveth, I very much enjoyed this lecture. Listening to your intersection of Nietzsche, Freud and the Chicago school of sociology, I couldn't help but think of anti-Oedipus and its thesis: "Why do men fight for their servitude as if it were their freedom?" I would be interested to hear your take on D&G, thank you.

I don't know how many practitioners would be truthful enough to acknowledge the part contingency plays in outcomes--especially the way universities push "tool kits"/techniques as an almost sure fire approach to good outcomes--as variable and complex as they can be.
