The text explores various facets of fundamentalism and its psychological roots, examining its political implications and societal dynamics in the U.S. and Germany. Contributions include discussions on selective perception during wartime, with parallels drawn between the Vietnam and Iraq wars, and the role of societal unconsciousness in modern love. The notion of fundamentalism as a compensation mechanism in individual market value comparisons is also analyzed. The text delves into scapegoating within social reforms, apocalyptic narratives in American and Islamist fundamentalism, and the heresies within Christian churches. Additionally, it addresses childhood and life trajectories in the twentieth century, highlighting the psychological profiles of individuals influenced by Nazism and the militarization of childhood during that era. The exploration of destructive violence and peace perspectives includes psychohistorical insights into the roots of violence linked to war experiences in childhood. The emergence of peace counseling as a new profession is discussed alongside a call for global environmental awareness. Finally, the role of empathy and mother-child attachment in human history and consciousness development is examined through the lens of Neanderthal gestation.
