Why is the left often splintered, because the left thinks more deeply about things, says Frank Yeomans, a psychologist, and so they see more complexity. The right, on the other hand, see the world more simply, for example, good and bad, us and them, etc, that is, with less grey areas and ambiguity, so it's easier for them to be unified.
Frank Yeomans discusses the political spectrum in terms of object relations theory and the importance of accepting and embracing the complexity of the world rather than regressing to simplicity. Illustrated with a clinical example of a patient with BPD.
We talked with Frank Yeomans about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how they can affect us on a personal and societal level.
