Depolarization and Fear Matrix

Some psychiatrists, for example, are very concerned in recent years with the fear-based (hyper-)polarization of American society (but also elsewhere). I've scanned an article you might want to check out on this, and noticed they used the word Fear Matrix at one point, a concept I believe is also useful for individual and cultural therapia. 

Anyways, here's a link to this 2021 article: "We must depolarize America now if we want to avoid a repeat of the past four years—or worse. From the vantage point of history and psychiatry, we offer a set of solutions to America’s polarization dilemma."
