Eye-opening perspectives on antisemitism trends, history, research, and solutions
Antisemitism and Jew Hatred: Psychological Perspectives helps readers understand the underlying factors and motivations that contribute to the perpetuation of antisemitism and its contemporary manifestations through an examination of individual and group dynamics, cognitive and affective processes, social influences, and organizational practices. Synthesizing empirical research, theoretical approaches, historical analysis, current trends, and lived experiences, this book provides an understanding of the psychological drivers of antisemitism and helps tailor interventions to target specific attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with anti-Jewish prejudice and discrimination.
Written by leading scholars, many of whom are also clinicians, the book methodically navigates the multifaceted nature of antisemitism and its diverse forms and impacts. Each chapter includes empirical research, relevant theoretical frameworks, and implications for education, research, training, and clinical practice.
Antisemitism and Jew Hatred serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, students, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of antisemitism and engage with discourse on prejudice, hate, and diversity.
