The psychology of terrorism, in its most basic form, is about fear.
Although academics continue to debate the meaning of terrorism, the
end result for victims of terrorism is very often fear and terror.
Many studying the effects of terrorism have focused more
exclusively on discrete psychopathological constructs, most of
which are clinically based. Ironically, these paradigms fail to
acknowledge the primacy of basic fear in the context of terrorism,
as well as how fear affects people in both positive and negative
ways-above and beyond whether one meets criteria for a clinical
disorder.
The purposes of this book are to unpack the complexity of terrorism
fears and to present a new paradigm for understanding the
psychology of terrorism. As such, this book presents empirical and
theoretical frameworks for understanding fear as a dynamic process
that motivates and affects people on a myriad of levels, from the
individual to society at large. The book also highlights the
paradox of how fear can negatively impact people and societies, but
also be a central force underlying resilience and post-traumatic
growth. Finally, The Psychology of Terrorism Fears discusses how
society has changed as a result of terrorism, and specifically, how
our own systems for managing terrorism may in fact contribute to
fear.
