D Jablow Hershman and Julian Lieb uncover manic depression as a hidden cause of dictatorship, war, and mass killing. In comparing these three tyrants, they describe a number of behavioural similarities supporting the contention that a specific psychiatric disorder - manic depression - can be one of the key factors in such political pathologies as tyranny and terrorism.
Julian Lieb, M.D., a psychiatrist in private practice and former director of the Dana Psychiatric Clinic at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and artist and novelist D. Jablow Hershmann are the authors of The Key to Genius, Manic Depression and Creativity, and A Brotherhood of Tyrants: Manic Depression and Absolute Power.
