With the rise of frightening and public xenophobia, racism, and anti-Semitism; the ubiquity of terror; and the spreading, cold indifference of globalization, we must ask ourselves: What is the social role of private, individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy? In this paper, I explore both the psychic structures of sociopolitical fascism and terrorism as well as the structures of fascism and terrorism within our psyches. Through the work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and other theorists, interlinked with clinical vignettes, I explore the potential for the psychoanalytic session to generate a resistant, enlivening response to the violence of subjugating political-psychic systems.
