My areas have been firstly clinical psychology and later, with perhaps somewhat greater relevance, community psychology. My day job, so to speak, has been addiction; how to understand it psychologically, how it affects those who experience it directly, either being addicted or being closely affected by someone else's addiction, and how to treat and prevent it. I have sometimes been tempted to pursue the addiction analogy when it comes to studying war: are we addicted to war? But I believe that would just be an analogy. There are much better ways to explain why we go on making war"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a War $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a War $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 6 $a Guerre $x Aspect psychologique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0010159 650 6 $a Guerre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380349 $x Opinion publique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0380349 650 6 $a Guerre $x Aspect moral. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0020666 776 08 $i Online version: $a Orford, Jim $t On the warpath $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2024] $z 9780197676776 $w (DLC) 2023032476 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D45024CC141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
