The book presents a critical analysis of our existing knowledge and understanding of terrorist psychology. Despite the on-going search for a terrorist pathology  the most insightful and evidence-based research to date not only illustrates the lack of any identifiable psychopathology in terrorists  but demonstrates how frighteningly normal and unremarkable in psychological terms are those who engage in terrorist activity. By producing a clearer map of the processes that impinge upon the individual terrorist  a different type of terrorist psychology emerges  one which has clearer implications for efforts at countering and disrupting violent extremism in todays world. In this 2nd edition  Horgan further develops his approach to the arc of terrorism by delving deeper into his IED model of Involvement  Engagement and Disengagement  the three phases of terrorism experienced by every single terrorist. Drawing on new and exciting research from the past decade  with new details from interviews with terrorists ranging from al-Qaeda to left-wing revolutionaries  biographies and autobiographies of former terrorists  and insights from historic and contemporary terrorist attacks since 2005  Horgan presents a fully revised and expanded edition of his signature text. This new edition of The Psychology of Terrorism will be essential reading for students of terrorism and political violence  and counterterrorism studies  and recommended for forensic psychology  criminology  international security and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984982011957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415698022","price":38.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415698023.jpg?v=1770842976","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-psychology-of-terrorism-political-violence","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
