The Psychology of a Dictator: An American Psychiatrist Profiles Putin

Ken Dekleva is a psychiatrist who has spent over twenty-five years carefully analyzing adversary foreign leaders and making leadership assessments for the national security and policy community. Among his most high-profile assignments were the five years he spent at US Embassy in Moscow, providing medical support to US diplomats and their families, and also carefully studying the leadership style of Russia’s President Putin. Based upon this experience, Dekleva sheds light on what we can expect from Putin who is increasingly ostracized and facing Day 320 of his three-day war.
Dekleva has recently published a new mystery novel, The Negotiator’s Cross, about an American priest, pulled into a dangerous world of hostage negotiations in Mexico and Russia, which test his mettle, and most importantly, his faith, in a series of life and death scenarios.

Giving Putin more exit ramps all the time won't work in our favour imo. He's been driving on a road full of exit ramps for the past 10+ months, didn't take a single one of them, got hundreds of thousands of people killed in both sides in the process and it's safe to say the last thing he's looking for is an exit ramp bc he's fighting for his personal and political survival already. It's time to come to terms that he'll likely continue on that road, we/the west only look weak to him by offering him countless offramps and we miss to fully support Ukraine In fear of escalation ... mind you, escalation is on Putin's plans anyways, if we like it or not.

Displaced anger. Hitler was an abused child. Stalin and Putin too. The psychology is severe PTSD. A craving for control. And a boat load of anger.

[@lmcsquaredgreendale3223]

@@msimon6808 I agree that perhaps PTSD and anger plays a large part in their decision making. With Hitler it was self-hatred as well. He knew or believed that he was 1/4 Jewish and he killed everyone from his past to make sure that fact never came out. I read a great biography by Joachim Fest about Hitler and he was a German journalist during the Nazi years. At first I thought he was an apologist for the German People but I was wrong. It surprised him how many people who knew Hitler in his youth and the years when he lived in homeless shelters before going to jail were found to have been taken by the SS and killed. I wonder with Putin if the fact that he went from the FSB straight into politics and then with very little political background was handed the presidency only because of being hand picked by Boris Yeltsin. The FSB training was not wasted on Putin. That FSB training made him a cold blooded killer. Just ask the people of Chechnya. Also look into the investigation of the "terrorist" bombings that the victorious Chechnyans, they beat the Russian army just like Ukraine, were supposed to have committed which Putin used as an excuse to bomb Chechnya into rubble. Why would a nation that beat Russia and drove them out have a reason to bomb citizens of Russia. The bombings have FSB written all over them. Putin became famous on killing 150K to 200K Chechens.

[@rocketmanzimm]

Completely agree with Anita K. I thought your analysis was coherent until advocating for exit ramps. Putler has been given many exit ramps and could take one right now and say that he killed all the Nazis, pulling a GWB "Mission Accomplished." Putler has no interest in this, so unless he is taken out this war will continue until every man and woman in Russia has been conscripted and either killed or wounded to the point that they cannot pick up a gun.

The psychiatrist has good insight into these “bad actors” who are tyrants of the world, but he does not discuss the details of these people who likely have certain types of personality disorders that will never improve.

[@lbb101]

Psychologists or psychiatrists will normally carefully avoid to diagnose or speculate on the possibility of a personally disorder from a distance. For one that would be scientifically highly unsound - diagnosis of personality disorders is a complex matter that 99.9% of cases requires in person tests. Rarely do symptoms and behavior show so obviously in public that one could with any validity. Second there is a strong tendency among kitchen-psychologist and layman to attribute evil to a personally disorder - because it offers a simple explanation for unexplainable evil. So we laymen are quick to shout sociopathy, psychopathy, etc. pp. to make sense. To sum up: a legit psychological analysis in this use case will tend to be well weighed and cautious and avoiding concrete diagnosis of a specific disorder.

[@lmcsquaredgreendale3223]

@@lbb101 I think that the reason people look to a psychological issue is that simply being an evil person is no longer believable and I think that many Americans get that from their fascination with Forensic Psychiatry the type of which is used to track down serial killers that is all over TV. However, if you take Pol Pot as an example. After years of fighting he and his army finally beat the government of Cambodia. He sought to create an agrarian socialist society that he believed would evolve into a communist society. Pol Pot's government renamed Cambodia "Democratic Kampuchea" which is ironic because there was nothing democratic in his form of government. His followers aka his army, most of whom were quite young, believed that the educated people of Cambodia allowed the US to destabilize their country by dropping 230,516 bombs on them because the Viet Cong used their jungles to move arms into South Vietnam. Cambodia was a peaceful country until the US destabilized it and then the US backed a government of their choice. We have been doing that since the rise of communism as I'm sure you know. His army forcibly relocated the urban population to the countryside to work on collective farms. Pursuing complete egalitarianism, money was abolished and all citizens were made to wear the same black clothing. Mass killings of "government opponents" educated people, coupled with malnutrition and poor medical care, killed between 1.5 to 2 million people, which was about a quarter of Cambodia's population. Now that is pure evil but it is based on his beliefs and I don't think you have to have a psychological issue to become Pol Pot, Stalin, or Putin. I chose Pol Pot because he evolved into that creature that no longer had a soul and he trained his young soldiers to be as cold blooded as he was. They all couldn't have a psychological issue because they killed indiscriminately. Perhaps it's just me but I think that evil is seen as Biblical and many people don't realize that you don't have to believe in God to believe in good and evil. That's my take on leaders who do horrific things to their own people. I apologize for the length of my comment. I tend to overdue it sometimes.

Whether the grisly atrocities and smashed cities of relatives have inflicted the simplex on many Russians, one can only imagine given the most recent rhetoric from the Kremlin.

FYI I worked in law enforcement including working at the FBI, which by the way publishes all of these statistics every year, facts such as that so called assault rifles are used in less than 1% of all gun crimes in an average year. As for politicians you will find psychopaths and narcissists completely dominate politics.

He just gets older and more decrepit. He isn’t aggressive, so he won’t start behaving in an aggressive way like Putin. Trump’s character is more similar to Putin’s ( lying, dishonesty, authoritarianism and lack of empathy.)

Kept the peace? Georgia - just like Ukraine. Chechnya - invaded twice, the second time the war lasted eight years. There's more. If this guy doesn't know recent history better than that, why should I listen to him?

Friendly reminder! The US has started 44 wars and killed millions of innocent people since the end of WW2 and it does have 800 hundred military bases and Russia has 21.I guess most Americans are ignorant and believe everything the media tells them.Learn another language maybe that would help?

Donbas in 2014!!!! The video below is showing what Petro Poroshenko- Ukraine´s former president did to ukrainiens in Donbas in 2014!!!! CNN was reporting at that time truthfully, so see their footage!!! You can open this video at 6th minute and 45th second to see the truth about Kiev and about this war!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5vahIGfeLijpNk Mr. Poroshenko, former President of Ukraine. He said in 2015 in front of the cameras: "Our children will go to school, and their children (from Donbas) will hide in the basement, and that is how we will complete our victory".

The shrink is weak on facts. Why is the war in Ukr worse than say the war in Libya or Yemen? Yemen has had 500,000 casualties, most civilians. The Ukr war about 7,000 civilians. It has the lowest civilian:military ratio of any recent war, including all the US/NATO interventions, which are about 1:1 instead of 1:20. How many civilians do you think you could get with 120 missiles, instead of the one or two casualties yielded by hitting transformers, if you were targeting civilians? About 20,000? A shrink with no self-awareness who has no grasp of objective reality. He cites long since debunked atrocities. Many of the hallmark civilian casualties were the work of Ukrainian Air Defence.

He was known for explosive, violent and sudden attacks on his victims and for holding a grudge for sometimes a long time before taking revenge. One of his thug tricks was to act like a madman who seriously frightened his opponent by seeming capable of carrying out the horrendous actions he threatened him with. A friend from Putin’s youth told about this in an interview.
