This chapter shows that the psychology of groups and organizations, rather than individual psychopathology, provides a powerful explanation for terrorist behavior and for the extremities to which otherwise normal individuals might go in pursuit of their group cause. Within this context, there is a broad spectrum of terrorisms, consisting of political terrorism, criminal terrorism, and pathological terrorism. This chapter traces the evolution of the four waves of modern terrorism and offers a typology of terrorism: anarchists, social revolutionaries, nationalist-separatists, religious fundamentalists, and lone-wolves. Each of these profiles of terrorism has its own characteristic psychology, which the chapter describes using real world examples. |
