Item description from seller

225 Pages Indexed. Three line inscription Thanks For All Your Help and Skill signed with date 12/18/09. There is a remainder mark on the bottom page edges. No other marks or stamps and interior text pages are near flawless. Genocide has tragically claimed the lives of over 262 million victims in the last century. Jews, Armenians, Cambodians, Darfurians, Kosovons, Rwandans, the list seems endless. Clinical psychologist Steven K. Baum sets out to examine the psychological patterns to these atrocities. Building on trait theory as well as social psychology he reanalyzes key conformity studies (including the famous experiments of Ash, Millgram and Zimbardo) to bring forth an understanding of identity and emotional development during genocide. Baum presents a model that demonstrates how people's actions during genocide actually mirror their behaviour in everyday life: there are those who destruct (perpetrators), those who help (rescuers) and those who remain uninvolved, positioning themselves between the two extremes (bystanders). Combining eyewitness accounts with Baum's own analysis, this book reveals the common mental and emotional traits among perpetrators, bystanders and rescuers and how a war between personal and social identity accounts for these divisions. Contents in Six Chapters: Charlotte's Question, A Bell Curve of Hate, Perpetrators, Bystanders, Rescuers, and Towards An Emotionally Developed World. Illustrated with Six Figures and Sixteen Tables.…
