Fear, Love and Propaganda: Mechanisms of Influence in Sects and Totalitarian Systems
14.99 €
Social psychologist Alexandra Stein spent 10 years in a sect, but managed to free herself from its influence and became one of the world's leading experts on the mechanisms of influence of destructive communities. Her book, the result of many years of research, describes the mechanisms of attachment, through which sects and totalitarian regimes control people's consciousness.
Stein details how social isolation and psychological pressure gradually transform human personality, leading to blind obedience and willingness to act against their will and interests. The author uses numerous examples to show how love and fear become tools of control and submission. An important part of this book is the chapters devoted to strategies to protect personal freedom and dignity, developed on the basis of personal experience of people who have been subjected to psychological manipulation.
