Radikalisering, voldelig ekstremisme, eksistentiel psykologi, forebyggelse af ekstremismeResumé
Til trods for at den eksistentielle psykologi historisk set har været mere orienteret mod psykologisk praksis end forskning,
fremhæver flere, at psykologiens øvrige afgreninger og forskningsområder indeholder eksistentielle aspekter. I denne artikel argumenterer jeg for, at dette i særdeleshed også gør sig gældende inden for litteraturen om radikalisering mod voldelig ekstremisme, der er et centralt emne i både dansk forskning og på den politiske scene i Danmark. Fokus er i særdeleshed på
forebyggelsen af voldelig radikalisering og dens mange negative konsekvenser. En afgørende forudsætning for effektiv forebyggelse er i første omgang at forstå, hvornår og hvordan radikalisering forekommer. Jeg vil i denne artikel udfolde det argument, at en eksplicit anvendelse af den eksistentielle psykologi kan yde særligt to væsentlige bidrag i denne henseende.
For det første viser jeg, hvordan de mest velunderbyggede teorier om radikalisering kan integreres via eksistensbegrebet, og at radikalisering mod voldelig ekstremisme dermed kan anskues som et udtryk for eksistentiel krise. For det andet belyser jeg i artiklen, hvordan eksistentielle interventioner dermed kan spille en afgørende rolle i forebyggelsen af voldelig radikalisering og ekstremisme, og at eksistentielle praksisser således bør implementeres i den nuværende danske forebyggelsesindsats.
