Some Polemic Questions Relative to The Psychology of Violence
Main Article Content
Abstract
The report discusses questions relative to the concept of violence and its nature. Two aspcts are approached: harm and intensity of the violence. It speaks about both violence groups: the explicit and the occult. They are finally discussed and compared to the concepts of violence and aggressiviness. The understanding of the violence is questioned as an inaugural experience of the psychic life and as a primary instinct. The identification of the violence is also questioned with the “irrational emotion”.
