Presented by Coline Covington, Ph.D.
In the midst of atrocities, there is the silent presence of those brave individuals who act and stand apart from the crowd, who risk their own lives by rescuing others, and in other ways, by voicing their dissent. The actions of these exceptional individuals raise questions as to why they were able to do what they did and why other people don’t. If we look more closely at the histories of these individuals, we discover that they may not be as exceptional as we think, and that bravery can take different forms in different contexts. Through the use of clinical material and recorded interviews, this presentation will explore the unconscious dynamics that determine acts of bravery.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe two psychological factors which contribute to an individual’s capacity to demonstrate bravery in the face of atrocity;
- Describe two psychological factors which make it difficult for an individual to demonstrate bravery in the face of atrocity.
