Anti-Semitism: A Disease of the Mind : A Psychiatrist Explores the Psychodynamics of a Symbol Sickness

Rating:
Summary: very interesting study of the psychology of anti-semitism
Review: This is a very interesting book that focuses on anti-semitism from a psychological point of view. Utilizing what Rubin terms "symbol sickness" the author probes the inner workings of the mind of the anti-semite and the psychological movitation for his hatred. While some of his theories may seem outlandish to the lay person Rubin justifies his approach with amazing clarity. Anyone looking to understand the psychology of anti-semitism will find this book invaluable.
