Excerpt from an interview in Scientific American:
[]
What attracts people to Trump?
What is their animus or driving force?
The reasons are multiple and varied, but in my recent
public-service book, Profile of a Nation, I have outlined
two major emotional drives: narcissistic symbiosis and
shared psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the
developmental wounds that make the leader-follower
relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for
adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth,
projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers,
rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury,
yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals
are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology
in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship.
