Abstract
- The article discusses the concept of partisanship in the discipline of psychohistory, and how such partisan distortion may impact psychohistory. It examines articles by scholars Jerrold Post, Nancy Kobrin, and the book "Death Orders: the Vanguard of Modern Terrorism in Revolutionary Russia" by Anna Geifman. It also discusses the motivation of large groups and nations. The author also discusses the concept of American exceptionalism and argues that it is a form of national narcissistic personality disorder.
