The psychic prison metaphor heightens our awareness the relationship between “the rational” and what seem “irrational” and warns of the dangers of dismissing or downplaying the significance of the latter, because the irrational can be an incredibly powerful force for the people involved .The metaphor also encourages us to recognize the rationality is often irrationality in disguise. we have seen this in how the rationality of a Frederick Taylor can disguise an extreme form of compulsiveness just as a manager’s workaholism ,excessive concern for clear-cut targets and goals ,or aggressive manner in dealing with colleagues or external competitors can disguise all kinds of personal insecurities. Rationality and irrationality are flip sides of each other, and when one is overemphasized, distortions and dysfunction inevitably arise.
