Description
Successfully integrating history, political psychology, and psychoanalysis, Fantasy and Reality in History studies individual and social anxiety, crisis management, racism and nationalism. By blending clinical and historico-political methods, Loewenberg examines the psycho-sexual conflicts of several charismatic political leaders, including, among others, Gladstone, and Zhirinovsky, Russia's contemporary fascist.
Reviews / Votes
One dazzling essay follows another. The essay on Gladstone sparkles with new insights. Peter Loewenberg combines, uniquely in my experience, not only the two fields of psychiatry and history but the two methodologies and the underlying assumptions. He offers it to readers in a calm, relaxed, utterly undoctrinaire tone as a way, not the way, to interpret a reality which will always be too complex for us. * Jonathan Steinberg, Reader in Modern European History, Trinity Hall Cambridge *More details
