Aggression – how we defend ourselves

Presentation in the conference "Into the wild woods" of the Existential Movement Febr. 7 + 8, 2025

online
7. - 8. Feb. 2025
In a phenomenological view aggression is not understood as a drive that needs to be abreacted and searches for objects. Instead, aggression is seen as a psychodynamic capacity to defend oneself if needed, i.e. when a situation is overdemanding oneself and cannot be resolved or regulated by decided acts to remove the cause. Aggression appears as a reaction to a stimulus which has the quality of bringing me/you into the danger of destruction of something existentially important. According to the four dimensions of existence the aggressive reactions have different aims and are therefore different in structure. This will be exposed in this presentation which should help to understand and accept aggression better, as well as to deal with it accordingly to the specific existential theme involved and detectable by the type of aggression.
