In this discussion of the chapter by Ruganci et al. in which Kohut’s twinship transference is set in a post-democratic authoritarian national context, its unnoticed, dangerous, and dark doppelganger, polarization, and us/them politics, will be addressed. It is posited that psychoanalytic work can defuse politically manipulated binaries when a client’s Large Group Identity is reconceptualized, not as a static metaphysical object, but as the outcome of the ongoing triggering of a vulnerable preexisting archaic subjective emotional theme known as an organizing principle. Under authoritarian persuasion, the normative systems process of a subjectively unique set of organizing principles fluidly moving in and out of perception in response to changes in context, becomes dominated by one, the organizing principle of Belonging. This approach brings political manipulation into a subjective frame and the purview of psychoanalysis as illustrated by clinical cases. Exiled Turkish writer/lawyer Ece Temelkuran is introduced to describe the right-wing populist playbook.
