TLDR
The collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe is an event that has had profound psychological consequences for left-wing psychologists and social scientists committed to the ideal of democratic socialism as mentioned in this paper, but these events and their psychological expression have not yet emerged explicitly in the psycho-analytic literature.Abstract:
