Abstract
This chapter will look at the mental processes involved in doing psychodynamically informed studies of world events. These processes turn out to be deeply rooted in the basic nature of the human mind. A key element in this type of investigation is a process called “empathy.”
If a thing is impossible, it can be done.
Hungarian proverb
