This week on The Five Minute Advocate, Julie Macken dives into the views of the influential psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott on democracy as laid out in his work Home Is Where We Start From. Winnicott argues that democracy thrives not just through conscious efforts, but also through our unconscious actions and maturity as individuals. Whilst our current political landscape may seem discouraging, Julie argues if we engage in internal work of self-reflection and development we can rebuild a thriving democracy.
