The Psychological Impact of American Dogma: How Politics, Falsehood, and Race have Undermined an Authentic Democracy - Paperback

by Psy D. John W. S. Howard (Author)

For centuries, America's social, political, and legal foundations have been shaped by doctrines, beliefs, and systems that continue to influence the nation's identity and its people. Many of these historical narratives have fostered division, reinforced racial inequality, and left lasting psychological and cultural scars across generations.

Drawing on history, psychology, and social analysis, Dr. John W. S. Howard explores the origins of these deeply rooted issues, from the Doctrine of Discovery and chattel slavery to segregation and modern-day racial tensions. More than an examination of the past, this book invites readers to reflect on how truth, understanding, and reconciliation can help heal old wounds and strengthen the foundations of a more authentic and inclusive democracy.
