Based on archival documents and interviews with former victims of political persecution, Martin Wieser will first present a historical overview of the use and function of psychological knowledge in the Ministry of State Security of the GDR. Building on this, selected case examples from interviews will be presented in order to shed light on the ambivalences that emerged in the course of the research project and to discuss the concepts of "sequential traumatisation" and "afterwardsness" in the context of oral history and the history of psychology.
MARTIN WIESER is Assistant Professor of Theory and History of Psychology at the Sigmund Freud University of Berlin, as well as the principal instigator of the research project "Theory, Practice and Consequences of Operative Psychology" since 2020.
