Wounded Leaders, subtitled British Elitism and the Entitlement Illusion, is a book publiushed in 2014 by Nick Duffell, the sequal to The Making Of Them. While the first book looked at the difficulties of adjusting to the (predominantly male) boarding school culture, Wounded Leaders looks at the bigger social purposes it serves for UK society.

Entitlement Illusion

Full article: Culture of Privilege

Projection

Full article: Projection

“Where dissociation becomes habitual, as when it is used to maintain identity and combat perceived threats of annihilation, such as when a child has to fend for itself over long periods of time without protecting parents, it can become a chronic mental state. This extreme degree is unconscious dissociation, which employs the psychological mechanisms of disowning and projection. Splitting as a defence of the fragile or invaded self is well known in psychoanalysis.”
Nick Duffell (2014)  Wounded Leaders [1]
