Chaos, violence, war & barbarism: why humanity and peace will prevail Jerry Kroth The Psychic Immune System: a hidden epiphenomenon of the body’s own defenses “When I despair , I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and or a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fail. Think of it. . . always!“ —Mahatma Gandhi Professor Jerry Kroth’s magnum opus explores an entirely new dimension in psychology: whether there is a psychic immune system. There is a surfeit of evidence that “something” in the human condition seems to suppress violence, barbarity, genocides, tyrannies, and other dark eruptions. Not that they don’t happen. Like influenza, psychic epidemics appear regularly, but they manage to come under some kind of control rather rapidly. Auschwitz closes. After Stalin, a thaw. After Pol Pot, the killing fields are shuttered. After Mao, the gang of four is rebuffed, and a generation of businessmen takes the helm. The list is of these benign outcomes is much more numerous than you might imagine. There have been twenty “very close” nuclear mistakes and miscalculations which could have led to a full blown nuclear holocaust and nuclear winter. To attribute this long string of happy outcomes to “good luck” carries odds of a million to one. Perhaps there is another protective force, or process, or entity we may have overlooked that has our back instead. The question this book addresses is entirely unprecedented in the history of psychology: is there a psychic immune system that mobilizes its mysterious antibodies and operates in a parallel fashion to the physical immune system? With over nine hundred footnotes and more than 40 photos and graphics, the adventure is relentless and the data assembled nothing short of overpowering. Prof. Jerry Kroth introduces the idea of that the dark side of the human condition: war, genocides, tyrannies, terrorism, nuclear armageddon may actually have an antidote. Is it possible we have a psychic immune system which operates outside of consciousness just like the physical immune system does? Kroth travels from evolutionary psychology to neuroscience , alpha males, baboons, Jane Goodall, and Jung in search of an answer. All from his latest book just published in Sept, 2016, entitled The Psychic Immune System: a hidden epiphenomenon of the body’s own defenses (Rowman & Littlefield). TO CONTACT DR. KROTH go to
