What is the Psychology of nations?

The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes.

The life of nations merely repeats, on a larger scale, the life of their component cells; and he who is incapable of understanding the mystery, the reactions, the lows that determine the movements of the individual, can never hope to say anything worth listening to about the struggles of nations.

Marcel Proust

The Psychology of Nations - is an emerging new perspective, a holistic model that views the individual as being intricately interwoven with a national collective. The collective of a nation, in turn, is embedded in the psyche of humanity as a whole. Both, an individual's psychological heritage and a nation's past collective trauma are expressed in the present. These determine the choices and actions of each: the individual and the nation! As a new approach, the Psychology of Nations is based on an inner attitude of a consciousness of joy, empowerment, choice, self reliance, which is waiting to unfold. These values lead to constructive cooperation. The old limiting national patterns are no longer energized. The psychology of Nations is applied actively through the prevention of violence, work with national traumata, and Psychopolitical Action Projects to allow for a new quality of life, both for the individual and for the nation as a whole.
