    Wounded Leaders - Out Now

    In an age when America elected its first black president and the Middle East stirred with popular uprising, Britons were again content to elect the products of their elitist Public Schools. But, their grooming for power aside, does such an education produce excellence – or expertise in self-deception and duplicity? The early 21st Century gives us some clues. Tony Blair maintained his façade of inner conviction but...

    About the Author: Nick Duffell

    Nick Duffell specialises in psychohistory, mens issues and the psychology of entitlement. In 1990 he began offering specialist group therapy to Boarding School Survivors (as he provocatively named adult ex-boarders). Ten years later he published his findings in The Making of Them: the British Attitude to Children and the Boarding School System, which has received wide critical acclaim, including an endorsement by the BMJ...

But that is how the Strategic Survival Personality defends itself – to the death,…

Theresa brought down by impossible job or by Wounded Leaders?

Mrs May will doubtless be remembered for the emotional finale to her resignation speech – by the media as the dogged but beleaguered PM who cracked in the end. And by the Wounded Leader snakes who surround her as the woman who blubbed in the end. I am certain that – in her shoes –…

Football and Brexit – Leadership and Niceness

This weekend, football, Brexit, leadership and niceness are intimately connected, it seems. Months of muddled leadership, not to mention David Cameron’s catastrophic original choice, lie behind the on-going problem of trying to integrate the loony Victorian public-school wing of the Conservative Party into how the hell we are going to managed this step backward without…

To celebrate or mourn?

To celebrate or mourn, that’s the question, the only thing (according to Einstein) that was infinite apart from the universe – the stupidity of mankind. With teenagers murdered at the fence in Gaza and the climate going to hell, we are supposed to be ostriches celebrating the royal celebrity wedding. But there IS another coming…

A psychohistorical and psycho-spiritual approach is needed to wade through the current anti-antisemitism hysteria

The common sense view points to racism as being more a feature of the Right than Left. If, like me, you remember the terrifying skinhead marches around the East End’s Brick Lane on a Sunday morning while you were enjoying a kosher hot-salt beef sandwich and the amazing market we had then, you’ll have had…
