Liberal Thinking: Psychological Causes of Political Madness
29.99 €
In their provocative book, The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Roots of Political Madness, psychiatrist Lyle Rossiter and co-author Bob Speer explore the psychological roots of modern liberalism. The authors argue that many of the ideas and actions of liberals stem from deep emotional and cognitive distortions, including infantilism, denial of reality, the desire for total control, and a pathological denial of personal responsibility.
Rossiter draws on his clinical experience to analyze how collectivist ideology, utopian expectations, and an aggressive rejection of traditional values can be linked to immature psychological defenses.
The book offers a critical look at how radical liberalism, in the authors’ view, undermines the foundations of a free society by replacing rationality with emotional demands and individual freedom with forced equality.
The Liberal Mind will provoke controversy, but it will provide readers with a well-reasoned perspective on the relationship between psychology and politics.
