Content: Glass's analysis bridges contemporary psychoanalytic and political theory and centers on case studies as well as small-group interactions at the hospital. Focusing on psychotic patients' own perceptions, he describes the loss of their ability to participate in consensual reality and to sustain the respect for rights and tolerance of differences which make reciprocal relationships possible. Their experience, Glass maintains, vividly illuminates larger political issues and points, in particular, to the psychotic bases of political tyranny. Pursuing omnipotence, closing off dialogue, creating scapegoats, and promoting violence - the tyrant elevates to matters of public policy those patterns of behavior that in an individual would be considered psychotic

Content: Glass finds not only scenarios of domination in the hospital, but also stories of individuals who are able to reestablish the social contract. As essential to the health of the nation as to the health of each citizen, he suggests, is the constant struggle to maintain reciprocal forms of power that defuse the solipsistic impulses of the self

Content: In the world of psychosis, the rejected misfit becomes a revered leader; the powerless dominates galaxies. Exploring a microcosm of tyranny within the psychotic self, James Glass maps the psychological origins of domination. As he documents forms of social participation that promote the healing of individual psychotics, Glass considers whether the practice of democracy itself might diminish the threat of obsessive power. Psychosis and Power is the final book in an innovative series examining through the lens of mental disorder the relationship between psychological experience and political life. As in two earlier books - Private Terror/Public Life: Psychosis and the Politics of Community and Shattered Selves: Multiple Personality in a Postmodern World - Glass bases his discussion on the first-hand accounts of patients at the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital in Towson, Maryland

Content: Whereas most anthropological research is grounded in social, cultural and biological analysis of the human condition, this volume opens up a different approach: its concerns are the psychic depths of human cultural life-worlds as explored through psycho-analytic practice and/or the psychoanalytically framed ethnographic project. In fact, some contributors here argue that the anthropological interpretation of human existence is not sustainable without psychoanalysis; others take a less extreme radical stance but still maintain that the unconscious matrix of the human psyche and of the intersubjective (social) reality of any given cultural life-world is a vital domain of anthropological and sociological inquiry and understanding.

Content: In this pathbreaking work of intellectual and cultural history, James M. Glass provides a provocative new answer to the questions that bedevil us to this day: How and why did so many ordinary Germans participate in the Final Solution? And how did they come to regard Jews as less than human and "deserving" of extermination?

Content: In cultural arenas from academic debates to movies, postmodernist philosophy has "deconstructed" fundamental assumptions regarding history, causality, meaning, and identity. In their critique of modern ideology, such postmodernist thinkers as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Robert Stam go so far as to deny the self an integral being. There can be no single personality, they argue, only a radical multiplicity of selves, the person as rhetorical category.Yet what does it mean, really, to celebrate multiple- and fragmented-selves? In this wrenching book, James M. Glass exposes the limitations of postmodernist thought by examining the first-person narratives of women institutionalized with multiple personality disorder. Against the backdrop of postmodernist theory, he juxtaposes the actual suffering of women whose fragmentation of self originated in unendurable experiences of rape, incest, and physical abuse, in some cases inflicted by members of Satanic cults. Turning to the work of French psychoanalytic feminists including Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray, Helene Cixous, and Catherine Clement, Glass addresses the problem of incest as a form of tyranny. In dismissing the concept of a cohesive self, he contends, postmodernist theory betrays an insensitivity both to the pain of individuals who must live without a firm identity and to the politics of the real world. Postmodernism's dismantling of the unified subject not only denies human psychological needs but also undermines its own political agenda.Shattered Selves will be essential reading for political psychologists and political theorists, psychologists and psychoanalysts, sociologists, feminist theorists, and literary critics, and for others concerned with the treatment of the mentally ill.
