Summary
The author makes a controversial attempt to trace the sources of the use of psychopathological terms in political lingo. He does so on, the basis of the findings of research on Poles' application of their knowledge and education in their interpretation of contemporary social and political phenomena. The author does not intend to evaluate this or that authority. His purpose is to analyze the effects of psychological and cultural factors on the use of psychopathological jargon in public discourse.
