This book, intertwining the psychoanalytic approach with the
historical, sociological and political analysis that confirms the
complexity and many-sidedness of the subject, deals with the
devastating phenomenon of suicide terrorism.The behavior of suicide
terrorists cannot be understood making use of psychopathological
categories. Whereas a suicidal terrorist attack can be described as
a crime against humanity, its protagonists cannot be classified
only as criminal or insane. This book examines carefully the
process of dehumanization that characterizes this collective
behavior and provides some biographical accounts in order to
understand how such horrendous crimes can be committed by a human
being. This destructive cruelty is possible only with a leading
role of a political or religious organization operating like a
psychotic part, which is integrated in a traumatized community. The
author will draw a distinction between local terrorism with
nationalistic traits stemming from the traumatic conditions of a
community and another form of terrorism that is irreducible as it
originates from a grandiose and totalitarian plan imbued with
revengeful feelings that arise from an omnipotent narcissistic
wound.
