Biography

Researcher:psychology of religious and political extremism.

Thesis: the chronically stressed central nervous system (CNS) mediates extremist behaviour. No matter what the cultural background or ideological hang-up, the driving force in all cases is a triad of stress-induced pathological traits: (1) delusion of contamination; (2) obsession with purity; (3) purification compulsion.
