Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive study of the dysfunctional thinking that results in destructive behavior, as well as suggestions for remedying these problems. World-renowned psychiatrist Dr. Aaron T. Beck, widely hailed as the father of cognitive therapy, presents a revolutionary and eye-opening look at destructive behavior in Prisoners of Hate. He applies his established principles on the relationships between thinking processes and emotional and behavioral expressions to the dark side of humanity. In fascinating detail, he demonstrates that basic components of destructive behavior-domestic abuse, bigotry, genocide, and war-share common patterns with everyday frustrations in our lives. A book that will radically alter our thinking on violence in all its forms, Prisoners of Hate provides a solid framework for remedying these crucial problems. "A breathtaking experience. Beck's explanations are so clear, obvious and practical that you feel a surge of hope. Prisoners of Hateis a clear review of the world's most important psychological theory, and is virtually a workbook on how to prevent violence.... A book that does so many important things so well can only be called a masterpiece." - Philadelphia Inquirer "A brilliant book, deeply needed in today's world. Dr. Beck brings to bear both immense knowledge and creative intelligence to synthesize this amazingly practical, yet never too simple book of advice and insight.'-Edward M. Hallowell, MD, author of Worry and Connect
