Though mediation is commonly used to resolve international conflicts, most diplomatic efforts focus on rational analyses of real interests. Despite existing interest in the unconscious dynamics underlying international relationships and mediation processes and outcomes, more attention could be given to approaching unofficial or backchannel mediation from a group psychoanalytic framework. In this paper, I elaborate on whether a group psychoanalytic approach could complement peacemakers' current strategies by working through the unconscious dynamics at play during dialogues. Group psychoanalysts could analyze and interpret the psychic realities unfolding in the “here and now” of the group experience, that is, the psychic realities of the mediation group as a whole, its constituent members, and their links. A group psychoanalytic approach could help participants explore, elaborate, and symbolize the unconscious dynamics at play during their encounter to foster transformation of their conflictual relationships.

团体心理分析方法在国际调解中的作用

尽管调解通常用于解决国际冲突，但大多数外交努力都集中在对实际利益的理性分析上。尽管目前对国际关系，调解过程和结果的潜意识动力已有兴趣，但可以从团体心理分析框架中更加关注进行非官方或反向渠道调解。在本文中，我详细阐述了一种集体心理分析方法是否可以通过对话中发挥作用的无意识动力来补充和解者目前的战略。团体心理分析人员可以分析和解释在团体经历的“现在和现在”中展现出的心理现实，即整个调解小组的心理现实，其调解成员及其联系。
