The Psychology of Lockdown Series #7: The Fantastic Imagination

Host Doug McKenty is joined once again by George Roche to continue the Psychology of Lockdown series in this seventh installment. In this episode, they discuss The Fantastic Imagination which describes the lengths the Mystified personality will go in order to invent a positive reality though clearly engaged in an abusive relationship with an authority figure. This series makes use of the Family Systems Therapy techniques developed by psychoanalyst John Bradshaw in order to provide a paradigm for discussion concerning the rise of political authoritarianism around the world, and why so many are not only willing participants but often enablers of authoritarian behavior.
