Angela Merkel
A psychoanalyst in Germany has taken a long, hard look at Chancellor Angela Merkel’s recent behaviors, particularly those surrounding the country’s migrant policies, and concluded: She’s headed for a mental meltdown.
Hans-Joachim Maaz, who is also a best-selling author, said to Huffington Post Germany the national leader seems to suffer from “narcissism” and is leading the country in a dangerous direction.
“As Merkel currently behaves, irrational and not clear, raises fears that she has lost touch with reality,” he said, the Huffington Post reported. “Merkel is the prototype of a man who was highly praised and highly pushes. At the same time, there is in her a narcissistic basic problem. … Merkel was long referred to as the most powerful woman in the world … She was the ‘mother of the nation.’”
But those labels weren’t based on her “real leadership” skills, he said.
“She was never a leader,” Maaz said. “She always reacts and does not act. This testifies to uncertainty and self-worth deficit. … The problem is you have to fear that Merkel thinks she is the most powerful woman in the world. Through this artifically inflated self-omage, a stubborn attitude comes as currently in the refugee crisis.”
Maaz said Merkel is making decisions based on emotion, not reality and facts, something that initially resonated with the German people because they viewed her as compassionate and humane. But that perception has changed.
“The problem arises when the recognition suddenly disappears and turns into criticism,” he said, in the news outlet, “as it is now with Mrs. Merkel. We know also of stars in show business [and what befalls is] the loneliness, perhaps the alcohol and a mental breakdown comes. … In the current situation [with Merkel, it is] to be feared that a psychological or psychosomatic collapse is imminent.”
He pointed to Merkel’s present attitude of “stubbornly” insisting “we can do that” as indicative of her continuing failure to face the reality of her migrant policies.
“[Her] behavior [could] be decribed as totally irrational because it does not take the real difficulties in connection with the refugee crisis [into consideration],” Maaz said. “The excessive demands of the authorities, the isolation in Europe, the division of society, the criticism from [her] own party, all that she seems not to worry.”
Merkel’s Germany has suffered a series of problems from her open embrace of migrants from Syria, most recently during New Year’s Eve celebrations when dozens of woman reported being sexually assaulted by gangs of men who recently arrived in the country.
