Scapegoating projections are a recurring phenomenon in society-at-large and in groups, and are fueled by numerous factors. In this Symposium, Drs. Arthur Colman and Pilar Montero will explore how historical, cultural, religious and political dynamics contribute to the human tendency to scapegoat.
Based on their work together, and on Arthur Colman's book, UP FROM SCAPEGOATING, the presenters will offer a depth psychological theory of this phenomenon in human relations. They will discuss the psychological and spiritual experience of the scapegoat and offer insights on how the scapegoating process interfaces between groups, the larger collective, and society as a whole. Understanding the complexity of these processes will elucidate the factors of which group therapists need to be mindful as they hold the problems and pains of their therapy group members.
Discussant, Jim Fishman, will take up the ideas presented by Drs. Colman and Montero to help us deepen our thinking about their meaning and application in groups.
Arthur Colman, MD is a psychiatrist, Jungian Analyst, author, and consultant to leaders and organizations. A past president of the A.K. Rice Institute, he is a retired Professor of Psychiatry at UC, San Francisco and Faculty of the School of Environmental Design at UC, Berkeley. Pilar Montero, PhD, is a psychologist, Jungian analyst, and retired faculty of clinical and social programs at University of California, San Francisco and San Francisco University. Together they have co-consulted widely on group relations, prejudice, and scapegoating issues in countries including the United States, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Great Britain, Haiti, and Rwanda.
