    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalysis
    • Social Psychology
    • Psychohistory

    Background:

    • Freudian psychoanalytic theory posits that unconscious guilt and narcissistic injury can manifest as externalized projections.
    • Anti-Semitism, both historical and contemporary, presents a complex phenomenon rooted in psychological defense mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the unconscious psychological structures underlying ecclesiastic and contemporary racist anti-Semitism.
    • To examine anti-Semitism as a form of paranoid projection stemming from internal conflict.
    • To discuss related psychoanalytic perspectives on anti-Semitism.

    Main Methods:

    • Psychoanalytic theory application
    • Comparative analysis of historical and contemporary anti-Semitism
    • Literature review and theoretical discussion

    Main Results:

    • The unconscious structure of anti-Semitism is characterized as paranoid projections of guilt feelings and narcissistic injury.
    • This psychoanalytic framework aligns with Freudian concepts of defense mechanisms.
    • The study integrates Chasseguet-Smirgel's and Ostow's theories on the perverse and apocalyptic aspects of anti-Semitism.

    Conclusions:

    • Anti-Semitism can be understood as a psychological defense mechanism involving projection of internal states.
    • Understanding these unconscious dynamics is crucial for addressing prejudice.
    • Further research can explore the intersection of psychoanalysis and socio-political phenomena.
