Drawing on three decades of teaching and therapy, John M. Berecz, Ph.D.
burrows beneath the surface of personality and character to reveal the
real person working in the Oval Office in his new book Character in Chief:
Personality and Character of George W. Bush and Past Presidents. With
penetrating insight and concise writing, the author acquaints the reader
with the real people behind the pageantry of the presidency.
Using analytic skills honed to a sharp edge with years of psychotherapy
experience, Berecz explores such contemporary issues as “Was Nixon a wife
beater?” “Is Dubya smart enough to be president?” “Did the 2000 election
boil down to a choice between personality and competence?” Skillfully,
Berecz explores the relationship between character and personality, helping
the reader understand how a man with the moral integrity of Jimmy Carter
could bungle the presidency and a man like Clinton, with so little
character, could manage it so successfully.
Character in Chief is must reading for anyone interested in politics in
general and the presidency in particular. With fairness and compassion
Berecz will lead you to a deeper understanding of our great democracy and
the people who lead it.
