Black Psychology. How We Are Inoculated with Poisonous Beliefs and Can We Protect Ourselves From This

All psychology can be conditionally divided into white and black. White psychology helps people become happier and stronger. Black psychology destroys a person's personality for the sake of achieving the goals of those who resort to it. We encounter black... psychology when we fall under the influence of cults, info-gypsies, bloggers, and pseudo-experts. In this book, Pavel Zyhmantovich, a psychologist with 25 years of experience and a promoter of evidence-based psychology, examines 5 mechanisms of black psychology through which other people, organizations, or mass media can manipulate us. In order to learn to distinguish real facts from hidden influences, the author suggests immersing oneself in the world of psychological research and attending a psychologist's appointment as an observer. Here, not only are the stories of real people who have encountered poisonous mechanisms collected, but also exercises that will help resist the effects of black psychology and gain psychological resilience.
