Richard Nixon: A Psychobiography

Despite an abundance of literature on Nixon, the man behind the most spectacular crash-&-burn career of modern political history has remained an enigma. This is the first thoroughgoing psychol. portrait of the 37th pres., drawing upon telling interviews with Nixon intimates, published & archived materials, & employing a rigorous psychoanalytic methodology. Tracing the development of Nixon's complex psyche, the authors provide new insight not only into his unconscious motivations but also into the way they influenced his political actions. A more nuanced, more humanized Nixon emerges in a book that also provides compelling evidence that the politics of a nation is subject to the unconscious needs, fears, & fantasies of its leaders.

<p>The Third Reich in the Unconscious: Transgenerational Transmission and Its Consequences examines the effects of the Holocaust on second-generation survivors and specifically describes how historical images and trauma are transferred. The authors reveal the many ways in which the psychological legacy of the Nazi regime manifests itself in subsequent generations and how psychopathology, if present, can assume a number of different forms. Among the detailed case histories and treatment considerations, the text provides insight for developing strategies that will tame and eventually prevent transgenerational transmission.<br><br></p>
