• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers a new perspective on a complete diagnosis of the violent radicalization process. Over the past two decades, numerous international studies have sought to shed light on the processes that lead to the eradication of certain modes of thought and the violent radicalizations which may ensue. However, diagnosing these processes is fraught with several pitfalls: a lack of robust evidence grounded in scientific evaluations, a partial approach that overlooks critical aspects of these processes, and biased, even ideologically driven, perspective that conflates political struggle with scientific inquiry. In this book the authors propose a synthesis of approaches which are both evidence-based and multi-model/multifocal. This multifocal approach will inform a transformative process, shifting from pathological and destructive passions in cases of extremism and radicalization to virtuous passions as individuals achieve positive self-individuation and socialization. The book then focusses on violent radicalization processes and Strategies to Rebuild a Balance Favorable to Protective Factor. This book and framework will therefore illuminate four key axes of prevention, which we will prioritize and enrich through the lenses of positive and existential psychology.
