The Roots of Collapse

The idea
The book traces all five archetypes to shared roots: ego fragility, identity insecurity, emotional dysregulation, cognitive distortions, power dependency, avoidance coping and moral disengagement.
In practice
Blame externalised, disagreement taken personally, control substituted for trust.
Where people slip
Moral disengagement, the term for normalising unethical behaviour through rationalisation and euphemism, comes from Albert Bandura's work.
