Terrorism, Violent Radicalization, and Mental Health brings together distinct disciplinary and ideological narratives on the political, social, economic, and cultural aspects of radicalization and terrorism today. Specifically, adopting methodologies and concepts from cultural psychiatry, and a range of other disciplines, across 18 chapters, we assesses a wide range of groups and types of extremism and terrorism from around the world. There are key topics such as technology, social and international policies, ethics and cultural competency, and the role that psychiatrists and mental health professionals play in treatment, management, and prevention. There are implications for counter-terrorism policy and practice, as well as wider social and public health and immigration policies. We thank the authors for their commitment to this challenging area of work, yet one which is much needed, to create social and global cohesion and improve public health, enabling all to flouris.
