The Psychology of Terrorism
[Four Volumes]
Series: Psychological Dimensions to War and Peace
Chris Stout
Foreword by Klaus Schwab
2002

Responding directly to the events of September 11, 2001, an outstanding interdisciplinary group of academics, clinicians, and activists from around the world united to produce this clear exploration of terrorism. Contributors, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Dr. John E. Mack, present an enormous range of terror-related factors in this important multivolume set. Chapters address terror and violence perpetrated by children, compare terrorists to cultists, and separate the fact, fiction, and hysteria surrounding bioterrorism.

Reviews:
This four-volume collection of writings by more than 40 academics, clinicians, thinkers, and activists represents another ambitious attempt to address the causes of terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11. Published under the auspices of The World Economic Forum, and in the "Psychological Dimensions to War and Peace" series, these volumes offer readers diverse opinions and perspectives in order to generate further thinking on the complex subject of terrorism....these contributions go a long way in expanding readers' general knowledge of politically motivated violence, as well as elucidating the causes and consequences of 9/11. Essential. For those interested in the psychology of political violence--from general readers and undergraduates to faculty, diplomats, and policy makers. —Choice

This set is easily the most thorough treatment of terrorism's complexities on the market today. Masterfully edited....suitable for students interested in true-crime, international affairs, or upper-grade research. It is highly recommended for public and high-school libraries. —VOYA

Endorsement From Pat DeLeon, Ph.D. Past-President of the American Psychological Association:
The Psychology of Terrorism, in its four topical versions, provides well written information for interested readers, regardless of their specific area of interest. Dr. Stout, as the architect of the project, is successful in banding together a diverse set of international authors having expertise in clinical, theoretical, and/or activist areas of interest.

Endorsement From Lawrence W. Osborn, M.D. The National Institute of Mental Health:
Dr. Stout's series of books will be an essential resource for any practicing clinician, not just to help understand the general fears in populations exposed to terrorism from the experiences in Middle Eastern, European countries and elsewhere in the last several decades, but also to anticipate the ongoing impacts of our new Terror Era in the USA.
