A comparison is established between two different groups of individuals: five well-known dictators and five famous creative individuals. The authors have defined \"pre-conceptual traumas\" as ubiquitous experiences that all human beings go through during the first years of their lives, when a temporary absence changes into a permanent presence, determining the outcome of what any individual might do or perform in the future. Pre-conceptual traumas split the mind into two dialectical and correlated states: the \"traumatized\" (conflictive or pathological), and the \"non-traumatized (developmental or normal).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45576235221230,"sku":"9781782205005","price":54.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781782205005.jpg?v=1720968162","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/essential-being-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
