“In the US and across the globe, we are seeing an explosion of right-wing terrorism, attacks on truth, and relentless efforts to undermine democracy. No one is better suited to the task of making psychological sense of these developments than Stephen Ducat. Armed with a stylish pen and mordant wit, he combines the insights of an astute social critic with the empathy of a great clinician. Ducat's work illuminates a path to understanding the strange, contradictory forces of our collective life.”
