Mass Psychology

From Sandy Hook, Connecticut, to Aurora, Colorado, to Tucson, Arizona, this nation has been racked from coast to coast with mass shootings perpetrated by criminals with sick minds. Authors Dr. Liebert and Dr. Birnes believe the increase in violence is an epidemic and dig deep into the causes of mental illness to determine what exactly is going on with these individuals and society as a whole, and what action can be taken to slow this frightening trend toward mass violence.

We are influenced by the world we live in and people can manipulate us and convince us to do something we don't want. Dark psychology is the study of manipulative, coercive, and persuasive techniques developed for the sole purpose of controlling the minds and behavior of other people. Psychology plays an important role in every aspect of our lives, from how we are raised and perceive the world to how we develop ways in which we interact with others and behave.
