This book is an essential read for clinicians who work psychotherapeutically with individuals, couples and families, as well as for academics and the general reader interested in deepening their understanding of how the two psychic drives, sexuality and aggression, interact and can affect individuals, communities, and humanity as a whole. The author presents complex psychoanalytic and neuroscientific ideas in an uncomplicated and straightforward way, effortlessly deepening our understanding of historical and current geo-political aggressions from a theoretical and neurobiological viewpoint.

Dr Perkel offers us an outstanding exploration of human aggression that draws on selected psychoanalytic and neuroscientific sources. Particularly impressive is the way in which he weaves clinical and sociohistorical material into his theoretical discussion. Sophisticated in its arguments yet eminently readable, this book will be of great value to students and practitioners in the mental health professions and the social sciences.
