Societal Psychology

These news stories no longer make headlines. The world is more prosperous than in past centuries, but violence is not decreasing, and even increasing, in societies where living standards have risen and wealth has increased. So why has society become like this? Where is the world community heading? We are facing a social hysteria that we encounter every day. Most criminals are not mentally ill either.

So what is the reason?

Intolerance?

Indifference to the feelings of the "other"?

Or is a lack of empathy and selfishness a rising trend?

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan makes striking observations in Societal Psychology. While examining the relationship between individual and societal violence, the author talks about social schizophrenia and states that schizophrenia spreads from the individual to society.

He mentions that the fundamental psychological dynamic of power and personality conflicts exists not only between individuals but also between societies.

He examines both past societies and contemporary society, analyzing them through individuals with biological and psychological data.
