 | The Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders, by by Jerrold M. Post; University of Michigan Press; (March 2003); ISBN: 0472098381 Dr. Jerrold M. Post’s prophetic description of Saddam’s likely course of action, written over ten years ago, now rings with a terrible truth. And the Saddam of today, as an anxious world attests, is more than ever the subject of an intense campaign to divine not only his inner mechanisms, but what he might do next. In this age of personality, the race is on to discover what drives Saddam-as well as Bush, Blair, and bin Laden, among others. "If we want to understand what they do," according to Post, "we had better have useful theories of why they do it." For the first time in a single volume, Post and his colleagues lay out a system of at-a-distance evaluation, drawing on a variety of disciplines from political psychology to psycholinguistics. This pioneering system of analysis is brought to bear on two case studies—Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton—providing comprehensive political psychology profiles and a useful response to the volatile circumstances of global affairs.
