Publication Date: November, 2002

Brief Description:

Responding directly to 9/11, outstanding academics, clinicians and activists worldwide contributed to this multi-volume, peer-reviewed set edited by Chris E. Stout, previously an advisor to the White House and representative to the United Nations, and now Illinois' first Chief of Psychological Services.

Contributors, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Dr. John E. Mack, present an enormous range of terror-related factors in this important multi-volume set. Following a foreword by professor Klaus Schwab, President and Founder of the World Economic Forum, chapters address terror and violence perpetrated by children, compare terrorists to cultists, and separate the fact, fiction, and hysteria surrounding bioterrorism.

Full Description:

This multi-volume set was created by an outstanding, interdisciplinary group of academics, clinicians and activists worldwide, from Princeton University to the Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine in South Africa. Contributors including Pulitzer Prize-winner Dr. John E. Mack present works that crosscut an immense range of terrorism-related factors including historic contexts, group dynamics, social psychological, behavioral, forensic, psychopathological and evolutionary issues. Global perspectives on understanding, empathy, bias, prejudice, racism, hate and sexism are also presented. Forged with a combination of talents and viewpoints rarely seen in the worlds of academia or activism, these volumes move knowledge and understanding forward as the framework and catalyst for readers considering ways in which to respond to terrorism. Authors in this unprecedented collaboration led by editor Chris E. Stout include scholars from Harvard University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the Disaster Mental Health Institute, as well as National University of Colombia, Comprehensive Medical Center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the Maagalim Institute of Psychotherapy and Counseling in Tel-Aviv.

Following a foreword by professor Klaus Schwab, President and Founder of the World Economic Forum, chapters written refreshingly free of jargon include those addressing terror and violence perpetrated by children, comparing terrorists and cultists, and separating fact, fiction and hysteria in beliefs about bioterrorism. Also presented are essays on state terrorism, on countering international terrorism using perspectives from international psychology and on the role of resilience in terror's aftermath. Among the contributors are current and past officers of the American Psychological Association, World Psychiatric Association, World Federation for Mental Health, Psychologists for Social Responsibility, American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, and the Middle East Psychological Network.
