Prisoners of Hate: The Cognitive Basis of Anger, Hostility, and Violence – The Father of Cognitive Therapy's Revolutionary Blueprint for Preventing Genocide, War, and Ethnic Conflict

• Illustrates the specific psychological aberrations underlying anger, interpersonal hostility, ethnic conflict, genocide, and war;
• Clarifies why perpetrators of evil deeds are motivated by a belief that they are doing good;
• Explains how the offenders are locked into distorted belief systems that control their behavior and shows how the same distortions in thinking occur in a rampaging mob as in an enraged spouse;
• Provides a blueprint for correcting warped thinking and belief systems and, consequently, undercutting various forms of hostility; and
• Discusses how the individual and society as a whole might use the tools of psychotherapy to block the psychological pathways to war, genocide, rape, and murder.
