description: The latest title from De Mause in his field of psychohistory describes a psychogenic theory of history, arguing that child-rearing and the interpersonal expression of love impact upon the national and international arenas with greater force than any bomb. He discusses the role of mothers in political progress, our psychological dependency on our enemies, and his concept of the 'social alter' - that part of the mind that infinitely restages social trauma.
