Far-right parties are currently being elected in large numbers around the world. Does this yearning for strongman figures stem from unmet needs? Together with psychoanalyst Hans-Jürgen Wirth, the hosts of “Inside Austria” discuss the psychological drivers behind the global political climate and whether Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin fit the profile of a narcissist. They want to understand the mindset of power-obsessed politicians and explore how psychoanalysis can help us better contextualise radicalisation and conspiracy myths.
