Edited by Donatella (Universita degli Studi, Pisa) Marazziti, Stephen M. (University of California, San Diego) Stahl
Paperback / softback
Description
Terrorism has dominated the domestic and international landscape since 9/11.
Determining what drives people to commit acts of terrorism is no easy task.
The important new book fills a gap in the psychology and psychiatry literature by examining the relationship between evil and mental illness, and in particular amongst terrorists.
How can evil, a characteristic of human nature, become extreme, intent on destruction and lead to acts of terrorism?
Featuring contributions from leading experts in this field, Evil, Terrorism and Psychiatry explores whether there are specific personality traits, psychological characteristics or psychopathological conditions that may favour a lack of control of violence in terrorists.
It also offers possible novel prevention strategies to help understand and prevent these acts in future.
Featuring articles from a special issue of CNS Spectrums, this book also includes brand new chapters found exclusively in this book.
