Int J Appl Psychoanal Studies. 2018;1–9. Abstract Psychoanalysts who study the internal processes of group formation and functioning have a good deal to offer in understanding Donald Trump's powerful appeal to a segment of American voters. In this paper, we examine how this politician has ignited the fierce loyalty of a dedicated group of followers. We further use group analytic concepts to consider the ways in which his followers in turn exert their influence on Trump himself. Finally, referring to the literature on group leadership, we consider the inevitable impact of a leader whose communications often stray from logic and demonstrable fact and which seem to intentionally promote group regression and fantasy. This analysis pertains to the effect he has on those staunch supporters who say there is little he could do to shake their faith in him.

Int J Appl 心理研究。2018；1-9。摘要 研究群体形成和运作的内部过程的精神分析师在理解唐纳德特朗普对一部分美国选民的强大吸引力方面有很大帮助。在本文中，我们研究了这位政治家如何点燃了一群忠诚的追随者的强烈忠诚度。我们进一步使用群体分析概念来考虑他的追随者反过来对特朗普本人施加影响的方式。最后，参考有关团队领导的文献，我们考虑了领导者的不可避免的影响，他的沟通经常偏离逻辑和可证明的事实，似乎有意促进团队回归和幻想。
