This book deals with »Intelligence-Service
Psychology«; a recent develop-ment in the field that arose from the
specific conditions of intelligence work and the demands it made on the science
of psychology.
Intelligence Services acquire and analyse information in order to create a
basis from which Governments can make decisions. Intelligence services achieve
their goals through human resources, technical proficiency and, to a large
degree, by accessing information which is not actually classified.
Considering the complexity and dynamics of the work of intelligence services,
this volume cannot currently offer a comprehensive or systematic presentation
of »Intelligence-Service Psychology«. It wishes to shed some light
on some selective aspects, and to examine some relevant topics as an example
of this field of study.
