Power and Politics

“Jerome Bernstein’s book is historically significant in more than one way. It addresses itself to a momentous historical problem of our particular time, the problem of collective survival, which never in human history has assumed the threatening importance it has for us now. And secondly, it is the first systematic attempt to apply the insights of Jungian depth psychology to transpersonal collective political dynamics.“—Edward C. Whitmont, M.D. “For too long, both the U.S. and Soviet governments have worked to portray each other as evil incarnate. Policies with life or death implications for billions of people have been formulated in both capitals by policymakers with blinders on. Power and Politics provides useful insights into the universal psychological motivations that have contributed to these patterns and to the seventy years of misunderstandings and hostility.“—Representative Claudine Schneider
