Description

Out of Control: How Obsessionality Drives American Political Division examines the role of obsessional behavior in the culture wars that are currently consuming America. The text reviews the clinical features of obsessionality, and traces its roots to an ill-conceived will for the power and control. As moral perfectionism is the goal of the obsessional, the text explores the persistent effects of the Judaeo-Christian religion on modern secular ideals. It provides the psychological basis for understanding the difference between what the social commentator Thomas Sowell has referred to as “two visions” for America’s future, one unconstrained and expressed in Progressive ideology, the other constrained, and expressed in conservative ideas. The book explains how feminism, identity politics, and social media, have all contributed to fostering the current obsessional “politically correct” society that risks avoiding existential threats to American society.
