Using psychodynamic theory and riveting case material, this book
dissects the figure of the malignant narcissist leader (MNL).
Across the world today, individuals and societies are impacted by
unprecedented disruptive influences, from globalization and climate
change to economic uncertainty and mass migration. The rise of
populists and would-be saviors has promised certainty for anxious
populations, but how far are such leaders suffering from the MNL
pathology? Through the psychoanalytic lens of Otto Kernberg, the
authors explain the etiology of the charismatic MNL's clinical
features: charisma, grandiosity, criminality, sadism, and paranoia.
The book outlines the limitations and complexity of diagnosis,
contextualizing the MNL within the transcendental and millenarian
movements, and discusses the patho-dynamics of high-pressure groups
and totalitarian regimes, including types of groups, methods of
mind control, categories of constituents, the corporate
totalitarian state, and the authoritarian demagogue. The book looks
at a wide range of leaders including Donald Trump, Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh, Roger Ailes, Keith Raniere, Jan of Leiden, and Credonia
Mwerinde. Distinguishing the disordered personality of the MNL from
other personality disorders, and presenting a new model of
overlapping descriptors to categorize high-pressure group types and
identifying types of followers as well, this book represents
essential reading for psychodynamically minded psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, sociologists, political scientists,
and those working in organizational development.
