(Blema Steinberg identifies the narcissistic personality a...)
Blema Steinberg identifies the narcissistic personality as intensely self-involved and preoccupied with success and recognition as a substitute for parental love. Providing case studies of Johnson, Nixon, and Eisenhower, Steinberg describes the childhood, maturation, and career of each president, documenting key personality attributes, and then discusses each one's Vietnam policy in light of these traits.

For each of her subjects, Steinberg provides a personality profile based on biographical information, an analysis of the patterns that comprise the personality profile using psychodynamic insights, and an examination of the relationship between personality and leadership style through an exploration of various aspects of political life - motivation, relations with the cabinet, the caucus, the opposition, the media, and the public.

Blema S. Steinberg was born on November 4, 1934, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was the daughter of Moe George and Dorita B. Solomon.
Steinberg graduated from McGill University with a bachelor's degree (with first-class honours) in 1955 and received her doctorate from it in 1961. She also obtained a Master of Arts degree at Cornell University in 1957 and earned a diploma at Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis in 1989.
In 1961, Steinberg was appointed to McGill’s Department of Political Science, where she reached the rank of full professor in 1996. After her retirement in 2001, Steinberg held the position of professor emerita there.
Steinberg’s interest in the dynamics of decision-making in foreign policy eventually led her into a complementary, second career: psychoanalysis. As a practising psychoanalyst, she specialized in helping adults suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, loss and underachievement, as well as relationship problems. Steinberg was a member of the Jewish General Hospital’s Henry Kravitz Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Clinic, which offers low-fee care to patients with anxiety, depression or personality disorders. She also saw patients in her private practice, which she established in 1985.
Blema Steinberg was best known as the author of the books “Women in Power: The Personalities and Leadership Styles of Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, and Margaret Thatcher” (2008) and “Shame and Humiliation: Presidential Decision-Making on Vietnam” (1996), among numerous academic publications. Her research focused on decision-making, particularly with regard to psychological factors, and the character and personality studies of political leaders.
Through the Blema & Arnold Steinberg Family Foundation, the Steinbergs (Blema and her husband, Arnold) were dedicated supporters of the McGill University. Among countless initiatives to benefit student life and learning, in 2006 they helped create the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning. The first medical simulation facility of its kind in Canada, the Steinberg Centre provides high-tech training for health professionals, with an aim to improving patient care and engagement.
