An internationally noted clinical psychologist offers readers the
first psychological biography of Barack Obama. The Riddle of Barack
Obama: A Psychobiography is the first complete psychological
biography of President Barack Obama written by a professional
clinical psychologist. Covering Obama's life to date, as well as
the lives of his parents, grandparents, and other ancestors, this
fascinating volume illuminates the personal, professional,
political, emotional, intellectual, and creative aspects of Obama's
personality, as well as the motives—conscious and
unconscious—for his beliefs and actions. Dr. Avner Falk draws on
hundreds of biographies, newspaper and magazine articles,
interviews, investigative reports, and more, using psychoanalytic
models developed by Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, Peter Blos,
Heinz Kohut, and Schiffer to probe Obama's psychological
development. Examining every facet of the president's biography, he
delves into his earliest feelings of abandonment and helplessness,
his inner conflicts, his protective relationship with his mother,
his ambivalent identification with his father, and his quest for
identity. Perhaps most intriguingly, Dr. Falk explores the
psychological origins of Obama's "fierce ambitions" and the
ingredients of his charisma.
