The psychological literature on war and terrorism is extraordinarily diverse. We will be able to deal only with a limited number of aspects. Depending on your interests, we may deal with theories and findings on psychological bases of human warfare, issues of psychological mobilization for war, the psychology of combat and of harming non-combatants, and psychological aspects of terrorism and reactions to terrorism. Clinical issues such as battle stress or symptoms and treatment of PTSD are outside the scope of this course.
