Özet

It has been recently supported that current war conflict precipitated in Ukraine is the byproduct of Vladimir Putin’s succumbing to this gross personality distortion caused by extreme power that has been identified by Owen as “The Hubris Syndrome”. Discussion on diagnostic criteria for the demonstration of Hubris Syndrome (HS) in political leaders as well as on further elaboration of the proposed factors that predispose to, or prevent from, the exacerbation of this Syndrome comprises both scientific interest and responsibility for prosocial political behavior. Given the increased complexity that globalization entrains in every crisis that arises in an era of concomitant bio-psychological, socio-economic and warlike threats, we perceive in a more intense way the assumption that HS may never be medically treated and only the enhancement of our democratic reflexes may protect us from leaders whose hubristic personality traits entice them to adopt immature coping mechanisms.
