The Manipulators: Personality and Politics in Multiple Perspectives

By Allan W. Lerner

This book's purpose is twofold. First, it illustrates the impact that manipulativeness has on modern institutional processes. Second, it stresses that aggressive interdisciplinary work will serve as a means of decreasing discipline barriers that currently exist among the social sciences and related fields. The Manipulators purports that politics and psychology can be combined insofar as it is beneficial for political science as a discipline to examine social behavior, social institutions, and social contexts. In pursuing this theory, the author provides a discussion of the obstacles that could arise from this combination by analyzing several styles of psychology, particularly at their points of overlap and similarity.
