Thanks for that head's up! What was I thinking? Symbolic psychology is the study of how symbols affect the psyche both at the conscious and subconscious level. It's a Psychological Warfare, Psychological Operations (PSYOP) thing. For instance, there are many cultures with no written language, and we have to draw a picture if we want to drop pallets of supplies or something like that, so they don't stand around under them and get squished. We did that in Haiti. In the Gulf War we devloped leaflets that showed guys holding hands, pan-Arab unity, that sort of thing. In our culture, that wouldn't work too well, but in Arab cultures they have no problem with men holding hands - it's common.
