Pitchstone is an independent, interdisciplinary press specializing in books on psychopolitical, psychohistorical, and psychosocial issues. This focus is in response to a growing recognition that traditional approaches to world conflict and social unrest often provide unsatisfactory answers to pressing questions and unrealistic solutions to seemingly intractable problems.  As no single discipline can fully illuminate such deep-seated and complex issues, Pitchstone will publish the works of leading academics, diplomats, historians, journalists, political scientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychoanalysts and offer a happy marriage of theory and field-based research. By contributing to a deeper understanding of  large-group dynamics and processes in general, and ethnic conflict, racism, national identity, religion, terrorism, societal trauma, leader-follower relationships, and many other aspects of world affairs in particular, Pitchstone's books will be invaluable not only to diplomats, social scientists, civil servants, policy makers, and scholars, but to anyone who has ever asked the question: why is the world so "irrational"?
