From young’s view, the Archetypes are included as categories that are inherited from forefathers and lineages and consists some parts of our unconscious. The Archetypes showed off in the frame of myths and fables ; but- in contrary to enlightenment prediction-not only they did not eradicate , but also they expose the modern political life to much changes.

2 - Psychology and Political Action; Feasibility Study of Establishing A Collective Political Psychology Theory
mohammadamin akbari Iraj Ranjbar

 The main issue of this article is to explore the possibility of establishing a collective political psychology theory by drawing on the views of Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung, and Erich Fromm. The authors are concerned about the lack of attention given to the theoretical framework provided by psychologists who assess collective political actions and analyze psychoanalytic aspects of groups, organizations, political movements, and troubled societies. They believe that this aspect of political psychology has been neglected. They also believe that the subject of political psychology has been limited solely to the psychology of individuals and prominent political figures, within the framework of a narrative that is historical and past-oriented. While this theoretical approach has had some relative success in behavioral psychology of politicians and exploring the roots of their public decisions, it cannot provide convincing answers to researchers about the reasons behind the collective behaviors of a society, organization, or political group by divorcing itself from the tools of collective political psychology. Hence, authors have attempted to provide a theoretical framework through a descriptive-analytical method, based on collecting a library of metatheoretical positions. In this framework, by considering the paths and cultural, social, economic, ideological, political, and historical roots common in the collective unconscious of society that constitute their psychological disposition, and replacing the production of individual negativities with neurotic consequences within society, they aim to achieve a novel approach to collective-focused political psychology.       Keywords: Political psychology, collective unconscious, archetype, social disposition, patriarchy.   Manuscript profile
