Psychodynamics of Radicalised Faith
Psychodynamics of Radicalised Faith

Summary/Abstract: Being radical in the matters of faith implies being absolutely in possession of the Divine Knowledge. There is here a symptomatic mirroring between this kind of knowledge (pseudo-divine-knowledge) and the pathological ideal of power. Basic problem is the necrosis of the the Paternal function. There is no radicalism without some kind of (pathological) charisma. Being fundamentalist implies domination of the unrecognized drive for establishing a special kind of relation with Father. This (necrotic) father will be recognized (in his idealized form) in the face of some (pathogenic) charismatic leader.
