New Book Examines Psychological Roots of Republican Party's Political Shift

Los Angeles, California Jan 21, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - In his latest book, Psychosocial Political Dysfunction of the Republican Party, Dr. Daniel B. Brubaker explores how psychological and social factors have shaped the current state of the Republican Party. As a lifelong registered Republican and seasoned medical academic, Dr. Brubaker delivers a unique insider analysis of why the party has strayed from traditional values and embraced conspiratorial thinking.

Drawing on decades of clinical and academic experience, Dr. Brubaker examines the cognitive development parallels between political behavior and early childhood psychology. He explores how certain leaders within the GOP exhibit traits consistent with antisocial personality disorders and how emotionally charged rhetoric has fueled fear-driven narratives. His analysis touches on the misuse of terms such as "socialism" and "utilitarianism," arguing they are often weaponized without proper understanding.

Dr. Brubaker also discusses the rise of far-right nationalism, crowd psychology, and how authoritarian tendencies have taken root within the party, further distancing it from its historical foundations. The book provides context for understanding recent political behavior while calling for a return to informed, constructive dialogue.

Psychosocial Political Dysfunction of the Republican Party is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major platforms. This work contributes to the national conversation on political identity and the psychological mechanisms behind modern party dynamics.

Dr. Brubaker, who has worked in clinical and legal medicine for over two decades following a career in academic pathology, also leads the "Republicans for Progress" initiativea movement aimed at restoring democratic values and challenging authoritarian influences in U.S. politics.
