ABSTRACT
In this sixth chapter, based on the work of Norbert Elias about the German civilizing process, we intend to discuss how the ruptures, violence, and social traumas were being transmitted to and by individuals through the formation of social habitus. The personality of Germans was being built according to the social structure based on military and aristocratic values, in order to reproduce in affective relationships, the same logic of obedience and submission imposed in social relationships. Based on Freudian psychoanalysis, we seek to develop a metapsychology of the decivilizing process through the concept of identification with the oppressor.
