Summary
In this far-reaching, extensively researched, scholarly work, psychiatrist Charles Konia, M.D. makes the first comprehensive exploration and development of the concepts first published in Wilhelm Reich’s 1933 The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Reich discovered the singularly human phenomenon of the emotional plague, a disease of destructive human behavior involving people’s emotional lives that can be spread from person to person with all the characteristics of infectious diseases known to medicine. Dr. Konia’s groundbreaking, highly original book examines from a unique, non-psychological perspective this pathology in human nature that has given us the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein and events like 9/11 and Virginia Tech, and also explains how brutalizing despicable acts can be perpetrated upon children and adults over the centuries right through to the present. Everyday examples of emotional plague behavior include not only obvious torture, murder and social mayhem, but also the father who humiliates his happy, hardworking son; the so-called “friend” who spreads vicious gossip; the teacher who constantly “puts down” students; the small-minded who engage in acts of discrimination. This book will open your eyes to why every “great” social program failed in its original mission; why America is increasingly hated throughout the world; why the resolution of every important social problem becomes hopelessly mired in a conflict between the political left and right; why a handful of despotic leaders can enslave millions of people; and why standards of decency and excellence continue to decline. Made accessible through examples of social case studies, Dr. Konia’s book shows ways to contain this pestilence and explores ways to undercut and diminish this hidden-in-plain-sight, pervasive and increasingly destructive force in human society.
