Description
Blind to Betrayal: Why We Fool Ourselves We Aren't Being Fooled The cover-up can be worse than the crime, and sometimes we refuse to see the truth in order to protect ourselves. This book explores the phenomenon of how and why we ignore or deny betrayal, and what we can gain by transforming our "betrayal blindness" into insight. Based on substantial original research and clinical experience, Jennifer Freyd and Pamela Birrell examine the psychological phenomenon of "betrayal blindness", where we implicitly choose unawareness to avoid the risk of seeing treachery or injustice. The authors draw on fascinating case studies involving unfaithful spouses, abusive authority figures, and corrupt institutions to illustrate the complexities of betrayal and its effects on individuals and society. Through their collaboration of science and clinical perspectives, Freyd and Birrell offer a nuanced understanding of betrayal and its consequences, shedding light on the ways in which we can break free from our "betrayal blindness" and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
