About this book

Political Paranoia: The Psychopolitics of Hatred by Post M.D., Dr. Jerrold. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300070279.

Paranoia is not an obscure mental state afflicting some individuals but a widespread condition of modern societies, say the authors of this engrossing book. Robins and Post describe the paranoid personality, explain why paranoia is part of human evolutionary history, and examine the conditions that must exist before the message of the paranoid takes root in a vulnerable population, leading to mass movements and genocidal violence.
