"Prisoners of Hate offers a profound analysis of a most pressing human
challenge: the causes—and prevention—of hatred. Of the many
important books Aaron Beck has written, this may be his greatest gift
to humanity." —Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
World-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Aaron T. Beck has always been at the
forefront of cognitive therapy research, his approach being the most
rapidly growing psychotherapy today. In his most important work to
date, the widely hailed father of cognitive therapy presents a
revolutionary look at destructive behavior—from domestic abuse to
genocide to war—and provides a solid framework for remedying these
crucial problems. In this book, Dr. Beck: 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.
