Daniela Finzi is the head of the research department of the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna and member of the board of the Sigmund Freud Foundation. Jeanne Wolff Bernstein is a psychoanalyst in Vienna and the chair of the Advisory Board of the Sigmund Freud Foundation.

This volume is a very important and timely contribution. The chapters taken together offer multiple psychoanalytic perspectives on Freud’s “Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego,” which could not be more timely given the rise of authoritarian regimes around the world, current threats to democracy, and the rise of fanatical right-wing populist movements. The interpretations of the authors provoke serious attention to the continuing relevance of Freud’s - and his predecessors’ and successors’ - important contributions to the understanding of group/mob psychology and the role of the narcissistic leader. - Pamela Cooper-White, Union Theological Seminary
