Roberta Bruzzone – The Age of Anger – In the Shadow of Narcissus

In recent years, as often reported in major national media, there have been numerous cases of very young people involved in brutal murders, committed without apparent motive, or at least with non-traditional motives, such as revenge or greed. We are talking about young people murdered by peers, of those who confess to brutal crimes or family massacres. These are extremely serious crime stories, which testify – according to Bruzzone – to the profound sense of inadequacy these young people experience. These feelings have long been harbored in the darkness of their minds, while anger and anguish nourished their "grandiose selves." Roberta Bruzzone will lead us to explore the dark side of young people who kill, in the so-called "age of rage," reconstructing with surgical precision the psychological and educational journey that led to such disturbing scenarios, to draw useful warnings for deciphering the psyche of these young people and supporting parents in their complex role as educators. To prevent something similar from happening again.
