Backyard Politics

A Psychological Understanding of Today's Political and Social Divide

A fresh understanding of today’s political divide.

Dr. Craig Wiener, a clinical psychologist for over forty years, approaches the current political divide from a desire to understand the differences between opposing political ideologies, and to create space for multiple points of view in highly charged political discussions.

Utilizing an innovative way to conceptualize the two main viewpoints driving American politics, Dr. Wiener discusses how the people holding these perspectives may view, respond to, and interact with highly contentious political issues such as poverty, racism, the patriarchy, and family life. In assessing these issues, he proposes solutions for managing the interpersonal conflicts that occur within our tense political atmosphere.

Backyard Politics is a must-read analysis of today’s political landscape and a proposed way to overcome our intense differences.

Backyard Politics is a call to empathy and understanding. It challenges readers to examine their assumptions critically, engage with opposing viewpoints, and seek common ground in pursuing a more harmonious society. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the interplay between ideology, personal experience, and collective progress. It will leave a lasting impression on those who approach it open-mindedly. I highly recommend it.
