Good question curtm.
The psychologist Alice Miller writes a lot about the connection between psychology and politics. One book I read years ago is "The Drama of the Gifted Child" Jungian James Hillman has a new book out called "A Terrible Love of War" where he lays out the psychological basis for people's somehow irrational desire for war.
Then there are numerous policy concerns that dovetail politics with psychology. Like should the government have an interest in the mental health of its citizens.
Warm regards, Jake
