Explains how our major social problems, including crime, violence, terrorism, war, substance abuse, and prejudice, are the result of efforts by their perpetrators to maintain a secure identity, or sense of self. It locates the root causes of these social problems and counterproductive responses in certain identity-damaging social and cultural phenomena that force identity to defend and maintain itself by socially harmful means.
Mark Bracher, PhD, is Professor of the Department of English, and Director of the Center for Literature and Psychoanalysis, Kent State University, Ohio. He is the Founding Editor of 'Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society' and author of numerous books and articles.
