Political Psychology and Party Identity Explored in New Release by Dr. Daniel B. Brubaker

Los Angeles, California Jan 21, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - A new book by Dr. Daniel B. Brubaker, Psychosocial Political Dysfunction of the Republican Party, offers readers a psychological deep dive into the modern Republican Party's evolution. Blending political commentary with neurodevelopmental analysis, the book investigates how the party's communication tactics, ideological shifts, and embrace of conspiracy theories reflect broader psychological patterns.

Dr. Brubaker draws from a lifetime in medicine, including work in pathology and legal medicine, to discuss how elements of group behavior and cognitive development mirror political movements. The book explores parallels between toddler-stage psychology and the emotional appeals used in political discourse, particularly within fear-based messaging. It also questions how personality traits in some political figures align with antisocial characteristics that contribute to widespread misinformation.

The book calls attention to the erosion of rational political debate, using historical comparisons and contemporary analysis. It further explores the use of polarizing terms like "socialism" as tools for public manipulation. Rather than simply critique, the author presents the work as a contribution to rebuilding democratic dialogue.

Dr. Brubaker has served at institutions such as UCLA, UCSF, and the University of Pittsburgh Health Science Center. He is also the founder of "Republicans for Progress," an initiative committed to restoring democratic values and resisting authoritarianism within the party. His lifelong affiliation with the Republican Party brings a nuanced, insider perspective to the discussion.

Psychosocial Political Dysfunction of the Republican Party is available on major bookselling platforms. The book is a timely addition to political literature aimed at understanding the psychological roots of ideological change and the path forward for a divided electorate.
