If we want to acquire valuable information, the best way is the human treatment. And psychologist challenge their believes, create uncertainty about certainty like telling them that you are going to kill your own brothers and human ways of investigations are 100% more effective than the torturous ways that only ends up with firming the existing believes.
Psychologist’s strategies to combat terrorism
1. Challenging the believes of terrorists
2. Reducing media coverage to terrorist activities by taking media in confidence as spreading terror in civilians is usually one of the basic intentions of terrorist’s activities.
3. Not negotiating with terrorist, but in some case negotiations are unavoidable like incidences of plane high jacking.
4. In such cases the need of most appropriate people arises who can negotiate effectively, again psychologists are involved in training expert negotiators because psychologists do have an edge of understanding the psyche of terrorists through trainings and experiences.
5. Providing counseling to the victims of terrorist’s acts and effected families. Like in 1980s services of psychologists were sought in Pakistan history while a plane was high jacked and few passengers were assassinated in front of all other high jacked passenger. They were extremely traumatized, so were provided individual as well as group counseling and very effective remedies were recommended by the psychologist and that had a very substitute and positive effect on victims.
