“…This familiarity toward isolation, and hence its potential benefit to Turkish Cypriots, can be further explained by the formation of individual versus large-group identities. It is shown that an individual’s core identity is connected to their large-group identity (Volkan, 1999); therefore, serious threats toward this large-group identity (i.e., wars) can in turn affect the individual identity and may cause a collective form of anxiety (Volkan, 1999). As reported above, Turkish Cypriots were previously subjects of mistreatment and threats due to living in enclaves for years and the war (Volkan & Hadjimarkou, 2019) as well as isolation since 1983.…”

COVID-19 has been causing tragic outcomes all over the world. On one island nation, North Cyprus, that has been politically isolated from the rest of the world due to a very complicated history and political stance, the rapid enforcement of lockdown measures, despite having negative psychological effects, helped interfere with the spread of COVID-19 and flatten the curve. We propose that the traumas of the past may have caused resilient factors when faced with the psychological impact of COVID-19, and lack of trust toward the capacities of governing bodies may have caused people take strict precautions to help contain the spread of the virus.

“…In 1921 (Group psychology and the analysis of the ego) and in 1932 (Why War), Freud [17] spoke of the narcissism of groups. In 1932, Freud [1] held that groups organize around a commonality that leads to its cohesion, and in doing so, as Volkan [18] has extensively written about, each community develops a specific "group identity". Communities forge their own specific "group identity", a specificity that I propose is forged out of its 100% biological commonality to all humanity and perhaps 7% ideological specificity to each individual group.…”

I have entitled chapter 1 of War is Not Inevitable, "The problem with Freud's answer to Einstein's question, 'Why War': it was wrong". Let me here start by saying again that Freud supports his speculative answer with an inversion of the "cause à effect" principle, proposing that"…the countless cruelties in history and in our everyday lives vouch [i.e. document that] a death instinct". To date, no study findings, clinical, empirical, or bio-medical have proven that a death instinct is the cause for our

State‐sanctioned violence (SSV) has resounding effects on entire populations, and marginalized communities have long persisted in the work toward liberation despite continued SSV. This paper aims to bridge the gap between the vast scholarship on resilience and the practical challenge of sustaining and thriving in communities targeted by SSV. We use the theoretical frame of the Transconceptual Model of Empowerment and Resilience (TMER) to articulate the process of resilience and the resources that support it: maintenance, efficacy, skills, knowledge, and community resources. As a practical frame, we ground our application of the model in the experiences of the first two authors in their own communities. Centering examples from the Black Lives Matter movement and the CeCe McDonald Support Committee, we use our theoretical and practical frames to explore the scholarship on resilience relevant to resisting SSV, and we identify mechanisms for supporting community stakeholders' efforts to move toward liberation from SSV. We discuss implications for future research and activism, and we include a toolkit with suggested strategies as an appendix for psychologists, activists, and community stakeholders to consider as they work to facilitate community resilience and build a society free from SSV.
