N2  - "Understanding Terrorism: Psychosocial Roots, Consequences, and Interventions brings the powerful resources of psychological science to bear on the issue of terrorism. Terrorism by definition attempts to change the psychological state of its targets, so psychologists are well positioned to cast light on this phenomenon. In this volume, leading international experts conduct an incisive analysis of the psychosocial basis of terrorism and suggest ways to prevent it, including both strategies to eliminate the conditions that give rise to terrorism and effective ways to treat victims of terrorism. Social psychologists, therapists, and social workers as well as political scientists and lawmakers will find this volume to be indispensable."--BOOK JACKET
