Why do responses to terrorist attacks often perpetuate cycles of
deadly violence? Can an understanding of the psychology of these
cycles help us to break them? Drawing on clinical experience of the
care of people and communities affected by violence and disasters
and on advances in cognitive and dynamic psychology, attachment
theory, group psychology and thanatology, this ground-breaking work
by a prominent and varied array of contributors casts light on the
causes of terrorism, the reasons why responses to deadly attacks
easily give rise to or maintain cycles of violence and some ways to
prevent and interrupt these cycles. Using the violence in Northern
Ireland and Rwanda as case studies throughout, Part 1, The Context
of Terrorism, looks at the psychological and social influences
behind extremism, terrorism and conflict. Part 2, Reponses to a
Terrorist Attack, examines the responses that can feed a cycle of
violence and assesses a range of approaches for their success in
ending violence. Part 3, Breaking the Cycle, looks in depth at
specific environments, influences and changes that can affect how
violence can be prevented or mitigated, including the role of
schools and the media and an examination of how peace processes
were carried out in Northern Ireland and Rwanda. The book works to
demonstrate how psychological responses to a terror attack can
trigger unstable emotional responses and override judgement and to
identify the five key points in a cycle of violence where change,
for better or for worse, is possible. Ideal for psychiatrists,
thanatologists, palliative care and bereavement staff, politicians
and journalists as well as anyone with an interest in terrorism and
its causes, this is a thought-provoking and accessible work on a
highly topical subject.
