Managing Emotion
Authoritarian Leaders
This was the trait which was manifested to such an extreme degree by
the members of the Nazi SS that they could commit wholesale murder,
not just without guilt or shame but, perhaps more surprisingly, without
the slightest evidence of revulsion. This cool detachment and complete
incapacity for empathy with other human beings was not only reflected
in the bleakly unemotional title for their task -- 'the final solution' -- but
also a sine qua non of its tidy execution. At first sight, this mixture of
brutality and bureaucracy is strange to say the least. After all, it is one
thing to shoot helpless prisoners in the back ... but quite another to
plan such operations down to the minutest detail, to make ledger
entries of hair and calcium, wigs and artificial limbs; to stack corpses
and extract the gold from their teeth. In fact, of course, this horrific
concatenation of traits is an extreme example of the relationship
between ... authoritarianism and the anal obsessive personality.
