Abstract
Methods of persuasion used in mass suicides and mechanisms of moral disengagement employed in changes of faith and religion, from Christianity to Satanism, the Stockholm Syndrome, and techniques of psychological manipulation used by several religious sects, physiologically resemble the construction of brainwashing strategies used in the psychodynamics of terrorist training as mentioned by Bandura and re-elaborated in its 12 fundamental steps by Mastronardi (2005). The report aims to use the latest research to review, in light of the most recent developments in international terrorism, the most peculiar aspects that are also mentioned in the book "The Perfect Terrorist Manual".I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
