Description
Strength and Weakness: The Authoritarian Personality Today explores the concept of authoritarianism in personality, tracing its development from early 20th-century Germany to contemporary discussions in psychology.
The authors, who have engaged in extensive conversations at international meetings of the International Society of Political Psychology, bring together a range of perspectives on this complex topic. Their work builds on earlier research and offers new insights into the nature of authoritarianism.
This book is dedicated to Silvan Tomkins, a colleague with whom the authors had stimulating discussions about these topics.
