Through exacting case studies and the careful sifting of evidence, Jerrold Post and his team of contributors lay out an effective system of at-a-distance evaluation. Observations from political psychology, psycholinguistics and a range of other disciplines join forces to produce comprehensive political and psychological profiles, and a deeper understanding of the volatile influences of personality on global affairs. Even in this age of free-flowing global information, capital, and people, sovereign states and boundaries remain the hallmark of the international order -- a fact which is especially clear from the events of September 11th and the War on Terrorism. Jerrold M. Post, M.D., is Professor of Psychiatry, Political Psychology, and International Affairs, and Director of the Political Psychology Program at George Washington University. He is the founder of the CIA's Center for the Analysis of Personality and Political Behavior. 606 $aPolitical leadership$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPoliticians$xPsychology 606 $aHeads of state$xPsychology 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPoliticians$xPsychology. 615 0$aHeads of state$xPsychology. 676 $a320/.01/9 701 $aPost$b Jerrold M$01135657 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962444003321 996 $aThe psychological assessment of political leaders$94479238 997 $aUNINA
