This timely and important new volume examines the impacts of Brexit and the war in Ukraine from the lens of the cultural complex model, in an exploration of the underlying dynamic relationships within and between countries.

There have been seismic changes in Europe in recent years, with the onset of Brexit and the Russian–Ukraine war, pre-existing cultural complexes have erupted in fragmenting divisions and war, creating an atmosphere closest to that of the ominous animosities of the Cold War after World War 2 and impacting the psyche on both an archetypal and cultural level. In this volume, contributors provide early attempts to make sense of the current situation, and to think about it in terms of activated cultural complexes, specifically in Britain and Eastern Europe, and perhaps across the globe.

This will be an important read for Jungian analysts interested in the underlying dynamic fuelling Brexit and the Ukraine–Russia war as well as those interested in Jungian studies, analysis and political activism, and international affairs from a Jungian perspective.

Reviews and Endorsements

Just when we thought "job done", Europe is once again a problem: Russia–Ukraine, Brexit, divisions within the EU, confused responses to Covid and the climate crisis, and the rise of neo-fascist and populist parties fuelled by a hatred of anyone Other. And once again our Editors Thomas Singer and Joerg Rasche have risen to the challenge with this addition to the Cultural Complex series. What is unique about this book is its utter realism and laser-like psychosocial focus on the important things happening in the troubled continent.
