RE: Contribution is one of our basic human needs
Great post! As a matter of fact, I've been writing about it. I am a psychiatrist, and the psychodynamic area is very important to understand human subjectivity. Link to Social Reality - The Human Reality and The Maternal Language - The Beginning of Subjective Mental Construction are some recent exemples. Nowadays, we become very isolated as a society of social relations, tending to be more individualistic. However, no knowledge or instrument that does not serve the social in the broad sense of the word, only has value to the ego, and serve the ego the hate, we are social beings by nature, when we do not have the human affection and social relationship, only what we have of more irrational remains.. And we are a fascinating species, where hate comes from, it is the same place where love comes from. For more love in the world! amazing project the @fundition, very important theme these days! Congratulations! We are coming and we hope to contribute and participate with @brazilians community.
Hello Mattheusggr! Psychodynamic is definitely a key to understand the human subjectivity and behavior. As you said we tend to be more isolated but it could probably be because of how people tend to compare to others now and kind of decrease their self esteem. Also I observed the birth of the digital social phobia that is isolating people now. The power of the screen is scary and fascinating at the same time, but fortunately for us there are ways to build a better future, to incentivize collaborations, and work on the self-esteem.
If you are interested in social behaviors/interactions you should definitely check on Erving Goffman work...completely interesting!

Great complement. I also curious about fear, and how it has been fed by public representatives in the name of power. In Brazil we are in a difficult situation, today we elect, and regardless of the result we live the extremes of radicalism. I also believe that we must build a better future, a reason to be here and trying to build a Brazilian community that supports the platform and that I believe that technology can greatly benefit our social inequality and political and social chaos. I have heard of but have not read the works of Erving Goffman, can you recommend some of his books to start with? I began to understand this technological moment from Manuel Castells with Network society. I study with references such as psychoanalysis, and fundamental and geral psychopathology. With much affinity with the French school that passes through Freud - Lacan., and now with exponents like C. Melman, M. Czermak and others. A pleasure to read and discuss topics like this one, and it gives me a lot of hope. Thanks

For Erving Goffman the very start should be The presentation of Self in Everyday Life =)
Yes in France usually at the psychology faculty we study Freud for like 3 years basically, and Lacan it should be like a semester and Jung maybe one small course. I've always regretted not learning more about Lacan and Jung. I usually work with psychoanalysis theories too, but nowadays I feel like Behavioral Therapies could be great too, so I'm starting to dig deeper into this subject hehe!
Ah right...Freud - Civilization and its discontents is also an awesome book.
Freud is incredible, this text is as current as it was when it was performed, I like to call him Sherlock Holmes from the unconscious. :)
Jung I read main texts, Lacan is difficult, but a huge breakthrough that only time will show. I still have a long walk to understand him better. Behavioral Therapies advanced a lot, I had some classes this year, here in Brazil has been much discussed and used and I refer many patients with excellent results.Thanks for the recommendation!
