As Raymond Unger explains in his book "Die Wiedergutmacher – Das Nachkriegstrauma und die Flüchtlingsdebatte" ("The Atoners – Post-war trauma and the refugee debate"), Göring-Eckardt [of the Green party] is representative of her age cohort, which today holds leading positions in politics and the media. The author traces the reasons for the "moralistic infantilization" of this generation to which he – born in 1963 – also belongs. His perspective is that of a "classical liberal, humanist freethinker and free, visual artist" who sees his hard-won freedom of thought and practical life put at risk by the political and media elites.
This is the generation of (German) baby boomers that stretches from about 1957 to 1967, the grandchildren of the war, who are also referred to in literature as ‘fog children’ because they carry a nebulous, ever-present sense of guilt.

I see psychosis as a reaching for a higher state of consciousness that supersedes us and a connection with an internal sense of self that serves as a guide for understanding the world around us.
