Feindbilder - Psychologie der Dämonisierung

The Dalai Lama writes in the foreword to this book that every human being desires happiness and has a right to it. However, disharmony, conflict, and violence continually bring suffering to humanity. We unexpectedly find ourselves in processes of demonizing the other, the other group, the other people. We perceive the counterpart only in a negative light and turn them into a monster that must be fought against with all our might. The authors, who are psychotherapists, explain how this happens and demonstrate—using compelling case studies—ways of de-escalation and demystification.
