IN SEARCH OF THE GAMMA WOLF We have all watched documentaries in the late hours illustrating the exploits of the dominant Alpha wolf and the Beta wolves that he mauls on his way to the top. But did any wildlife documentary maker ever capture the sneaky exploits of the Gamma wolf? The lone straggler at the back of the pack, with the chewed up tail and mangy fur, who cavorts successfully with the females whilst the Alpha is out of sight? This book is an attempt to graft male society onto a quasi-scientific—but predominantly fictitious—concept of the wolf pack hierarchy. Along with the familiar Alpha and Beta wolves, this book sheds light on the lesser known wolf types: the plucky Gamma wolf and his comrades, the Theta, Omega, Zeta and Omicron wolves. It can be used as a light-hearted guide to any informal or institutional environment to identify different male types, the structure of the hierarchy, and where individuals fit within it.

In recent times, the phenomenon of lone wolf terrorism has been observed with the social assumption that a radicalized individual is only guided by personal, social, and ethnic reasons to commit an extremist act. Nevertheless, there is still much to understand about this phenomenon and improve the methods of investigation or psychiatric interventions. This handbook attempts to cover gaps in understanding the psychiatric aspects of radicalization and the phenomenon of lone-wolf terrorism. Edited by expert clinical psychologists, the contributors have taken both a qualitative and theoretical route to analyze the phenomenon, prompted by their clinical experience with mental health professionals, being in contact with radicalized people living in local towns and prisons. Key Features - Addresses the topic of lone wolf terrorism from multiple angles including psychological aspects, social aspects, philosophical aspects and prevention - Provides insights into forensic psychiatric methods used to study terrorism - Includes contributions from several mental health experts - Explains information in a concise, easy to comprehend manner - Includes references for further research Psychological Assessment and Interventions for Individuals Linked to Radicalization and Lone Wolf Terrorism serves as a practical handbook for psychologists, psychiatrists, criminologists, social workers, allied professionals (such as law enforcement officers) and students (in criminology, social science or psychology programs for example) who want to learn about the causes and prevention of terrorism, with a focus on radicalization processes and lone wolf agents.
