Narcisso-Fascism

<p>This book examines the biological social and psychological influences driving one of the most important and frightening trends in modern international politics right-wing extremism. It is radically unlike anything written on the topic before and its conclusions should make all of us stop ... and worry about the world we are leaving to our children. Niall McLaren is a recently-retired Australian psychiatrist with a particular interest in the application of the philosophy of science to psychiatry. Of this work Prof. Alan Patience of the School of Social and Political Sciences Melbourne University said: Niall McLaren's new book weaves the disciplines of psychiatry and political science into a highly original approach to the political psychology of fascism... (His) book takes the analysis of fascism to another level warning how genetically and psychologically ingrained the fascist urge is in human nature generally. In revealing this with rare clarity this book will help counter the deeply disturbing drift towards neo-fascism across the contemporary world.</p>
