Even Paranoids Have Enemies - New Perspectives on Paranoia and Persecution (Paperback, New)

Even paranoids have enemies is the reply Golda Meir is said to have made to Henry Kissinger who, during the 1973 Sinai talks, accused her of being paranoid for hesitating to grant further concessions to the Palestinians. It is used as part of the title of this book to highlight the complex relationship between paranoia and persecution. The book is divided into three sections: section one addresses aspects of the complex psychological impact that experiences of external and internal persecution have on the individual; section two brings together expositions on paranoid and persecutory processes in groups, institutions and bureaucracies; and section three discusses the social, political and cultural factors which give rise to these processes. The theoretical viewpoints introduced and discussed come to life in the political, social and historical arenas where the politics of the Middle East, the pressures of Japanese society and the dynamics of the drug scene are used to illustrate and understand the issues involved in paranoid thinking and in persecution.
