Contributors to the book examine the ways in which paranoia and persecution are experienced at the individual, institutional and macrosocial level, and they discuss the psychological, political and cultural impact of paranoid/persecutory processes.
I was one of four editors for this book: Joseph H. Berke, Stella Pierides, Andrea Sabbadini, Stanley Schneider.
I was and still am proud of the quality of the writing, breadth and variety of perspective ... I may be biased, but I consider this to be one of the best books around on the themes of paranoia and persecution.
