Watch Nick introduce and discuss his book Wounded Leaders:

Psychohistory is the field of inquiry that explores the psychological motives of individuals and groups of historical actors, as well as the psychological impact of historical events.
James L. Ferguson, professor of history at Hamilton College, New York.
Psychohistory, the science of historical motivations, combines the insights of psychotherapy with the research methodology of the social sciences to understand the emotional origin of the social and political behavior of groups and nations, past and present.
