Using real- life examples, it explores the question of what genocide says about us individually and collectively, how apparently \"normal\" people can take part in genocide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTackling one of the most important topics of our time, this is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, and for philosophers, social scientists, and psychologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032910658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032910659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.29d","brand":"Alan Bass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097266954495,"sku":"9781032910659","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genocide-principle-alan-bass-9781032910659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
