Paperback. Condition: Very Good. ?Unravel[s] the national psyche that brought our politics to this moment.? ? Evan Osnos, The New YorkerA landmark book, from ?one of the world?s most prominent psychiatrists? (The Atlantic): Allen Frances analyzes the nation, viewing the rise of Donald J. Trump as darkly symptomatic of a deeper societal distress that must be understood if we are to move forward. Equally challenging and profound, Twilight of American Sanity ?joins a small shelf of essential titles?Arlie Hochschild?s Strangers in Their Own Land is another?that help explain why and how the Trump presidency happened?
