War is a human phenomenon that by its nature evolves and takes different forms.

La guerra è un fenomeno umano che per sua natura evolve e assume diverse forme. In queste pagine vengono richiamate alcune di queste forme: la guerra convenzionale e quella non convenzionale (UW; unconventional warfare), la guerra ibrida e quella cognitiva. L’autore mostra come la conoscenza della psiche umana possa aiutare a comprendere e gestire questo fenomeno ed in particolare come la psicologia sia coinvolta nelle forme più recenti di guerra globale. Un coinvolgimento che si realizza a posteriori, nella cura dei danni psichici causati dalla guerra, ma anche durante il conflitto, attraverso il sostegno alle strategie delle parti combattenti. La psicologia, infine, ha oggi uno un ruolo cruciale nel tempo che precede ogni guerra, perché conosce le dinamiche umane che portano ai conflitti violenti e che possono prevenirli.

Abstract
War is a human phenomenon that by its nature evolves and takes different forms. Some of these forms are recalled in these pages: conventional and unconventional warfare (UW), hybrid warfare and cognitive warfare. The author shows how knowledge of the human psyche can help to understand and manage this phenomenon and in particular how psychology is involved in the most recent forms of global warfare. An involvement that is realized a posteriori, in the treatment of the psychic damage caused by the war, but also during the conflict, through the support to the strategies of fighting parts. Finally, psychology plays a crucial role today in the time before any war because it knows the human dynamics that lead to and can prevent violent conflicts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
