By Robert J. Sternberg

After the genocide perpetrated by way of the Nazis in international conflict II, the expression "Never back" grew to become a well-known chorus. but, over the past half the 20 th century and the start of the present decade, society has witnessed extraordinary numbers of brutal and hateful acts.

News assets are choked with reviews of Palestinians attacking Jews and Jewish settlers attacking Palestinians, white supremacist teams murdering contributors of minority teams, non secular zealots killing medical professionals who practice abortions, kids violently clashing with their classmates, genocide in Rwanda and mass killing in Bosnia, and the 9-11 assaults at the U.S. those usually are not random or unexpected bursts of irrationality, yet fairly, conscientiously deliberate and orchestrated acts of violence and killing. Underlying those occasions is a common and dangerous human emotion: hate.

The Psychology of Hate is a ground-breaking publication that brings jointly specialists at the psychology of hate to offer their different viewpoints in one quantity.
