Resurgence of Global Populism provides a psychoanalytic perspective to
the global implications of the populist movement in the U.S. and its
relationship to other parts of the world, particularly focusing on the
presidency and legacy of Donald Trump. The book explores Trump’s use
of psychological form of manipulation known as projective
identification and how his use of this defense mechanism has
influenced global institutions, political discourse, and quality of
life in the long term. Messina explores the correlation between
Trump’s rhetoric and an increase in reported racism and prejudiced
violence worldwide, disintegration of global values, and a radicalized
political climate. She analyzes the dynamics between Trump and his
supporters, political opponents, and successors, considers the
COVID-19 pandemic as a study of Trump’s views of the world, and
considers the roles of social and television media. The book concludes
with an explanation of antidotes to projective identification,
including thoughtful debate and meaningful discussions and scripted
dialogues for global healing. This insightful book will be of interest
to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, academics and students of
political psychology and political movements, and readers interested
in a deeper analysis of populism and political dynamics.
