Professor Dominic Abrams guests on podcast episode alongside Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson and ‘Psychology Guy’ Kevin Dutton
Professor Dominic Abrams appears on an episode of Psycho Schizo Espresso with Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson and Kevin Dutton discussing the secret life of groups, cults & crowds.
They ask: Are groups a “necessary evil”…could the world exist without them? When do groups become dangerous? Why do some groups pack more of an “us/them” vibe than others (think football fans, political parties, religious denominations)? What can we learn from the mysterious psychological alchemy of cults? And…are governments losing control of groups within society? If so, are organisations such as the Mafia really such a bad thing?
Touching on group processes within family, tribes, bands, football fans, organisations, nationalities, unions, gender and race, Abrams discusses how we ‘cant live without them’ but how they have the potential for destruction.
