The Renaissance of Western Politics: The Good-Enough Leader, Relational Economics, and an Empathic Foreign Policy

Over the past fifteen years the Jungian analyst, Professor Andrew Samuels, has worked as a political consultant to leading politicians, their advisers, parties and activist groups. In this article, he argues that personal growth, change, transformation, therapy or analysis, all depend on the ability to imagine a utopic move out of the social and political conditions in which we find ourselves. If psychoanalysis is to engage with the public sphere, the time has come to break some boundaries and learn how to transit the divides between the 'forbidden zones' of: clinical office and street; spirituality and politics; 'above' and 'below'; 'inner' and 'outer'; being and doing; extraversion and intraversion; feminine and masculine approaches to life. Samuels provides a psychoanalytic exploration of: the contemporary 'political disease' of hierarchical, heroic leadership and the need for a new story of the father; how the inner world works when it comes to economics-from economic sadism to relational economics; denationalizing the psyche; and the theme of sacrifice.
