Podcasts about on killing the psychological cost

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, a retired U.S. Army Ranger and former psychology professor at West Point, is widely known for his book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. The book delves into the emotional and psychological impact that killing has on soldiers, and it introduced the concept of "killology"—the study of how taking a life affects the human mind. Grossman suggests that humans naturally resist killing, and that military training has evolved to help soldiers overcome this resistance. His research has significantly influenced military and police training programs, although some of his theories have sparked debate among scholars and critics.EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Background of Lt.

He has spoken out against video game violence, done deep research on PTSD, and coined and trademarked the term sheepdog.In this wide ranging interview, we talk at length about what it means to be a warrior for God, training in weapons and preparation, and the Sheepdog concept Dave famously trademarked in his book On Killing. We also talk about gun violence, school shootings, PTSD, and the psychology of killing. Dave talks at length about his love for the Lord and the role he sees for Biblically masculine males. This is a fascinating conversation with a man who is truly a psychological expert in combat, killing, and violence.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. We continue our deep dive into self-proclaimed "killologist" Dave Grossman and his foundational work On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1995). This time around, we take a closer look at Dave Grossman's research process and learn how, shockingly, the sources that aren't based on a World War II journalist who made some stuff up are also pretty bad.  Topics discussed include: Kevin's run-in with Soldier of Fortune,  Andy's natural aversion to giving Dave Grossman money, Dave's looking out for the real victims (spoiler alert: it's white supremacists and fascists), a brief interlude about the 1994 Winter Olympics, and the ongoing debate over who stole valor. Plus, some more rounds of Pokémon or Prescription Drug!For a look at the history of Rhodesia: check out Well There's Your Problem's episode - https://youtu.be/7dtJGRIWEls?si=2lJ2S3fFTAwVcsVy.  Theme Music: Occam's Sikhwee by Sikh Knowledge (Free Music Archive: https://bit.ly/33G4sLO), used under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US (https://bit.ly/33JXogQ) More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

We continue our deep dive into self-proclaimed "killologist" Dave Grossman and his 1995 book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1995). Today, we tackle Dave's central argument--that as many as 85% of American soldiers in World War II outright refused to fire their guns, which led the Army to trick its soldiers into becoming killing machines--by looking at his one source: the work of Samuel Lyman Marshall. Topics discussed include: The epic tale of a jet setting adventurer and war correspondent (or is it?), Dave Grossman is (shockingly) not a diligent researcher, what happens when historians make up their sources, the great debate over who stole valor, and the gang offers some exciting new dieting advice. Plus, some more rounds of Pokémon or Prescription Drug!Sources on Kevin's World War II numbers: "U.S. Army Divisions, in World War II," US Army Divisions, https://www.armydivs.com/; "Life in the Army," PBS, https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-war/life-in-the-infantry; "Research Starters: US Military by the Numbers," National World War II Museum, https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-us-military-numbersFor more info on S.L.A.

Retired Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and author of On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, joins Jeff for an in-depth discussion about sheep dogs & sheep, and why it's not a knock to be called a sheep in the context of protecting others when lives are at stake. 

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. We continue our deep dive into self-proclaimed "killologist" Dave Grossman and his 1995 book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1995), dissecting his claims that America is in the midst of a hellish Purge style world of violent teens who have been activated by watching too many horror movies and playing one too many light gun games.Topics discussed include:  Dave Grossman has never watched a horror movie or played a video game (but that won't stop him from having strong opinions anyway), whether Rodney King was a serial killer, Kevin has a problem with A Clockwork Orange, the gang learns there actually is no crime, and Andy offers more choices between Pokémon and prescription drugs.For more on possible theories behind America's dramatic crime decrease since the 1990s, check out: Dana Lind and German Lopez, “16 Theories for Why Crime Plummeted in the US,” Vox, May 20, 2015, https://www.vox.com/2015/2/13/8032231/crime-drop.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Elford Stephens, and Andy Hunter. In honor of our second full year of doing this show, we start a deep dive into a guy who may be the single most influential figure in the violent video game discourse over the last 30-odd years: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. Starting our six-month (don't worry, we'll take breaks along the way) deep dive into the self-proclaimed killology expert. Today, we start with Dave's early life and start looking at his most influential work on how we thing about video game violence: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1995), and how a lot of the violent video game discourse is based on a bad book.Topics discussed include:  The horrifying thought of soldiers not killing people (and how we allegedly "fixed" it), some sketchy wheelings and dealings among our panelists, Dave Grossman warns those nasty video games are teaching kids to kill (citation needed), and Andy tests the gang's knowledge on Pokémon and prescription drugs.For more on the evolution of the public perception of the American soldier between World War II and the Vietnam War, check out Andrew J, Huebner, The Warrior Image: Soldiers in American Culture from the Second World War to the Vietnam Era (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2008: https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Image-Soldiers-American-Culture/dp/0807858382.   Theme Music: Occam's Sikhwee by Sikh Knowledge (Free Music Archive: https://bit.ly/33G4sLO), used under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US (https://bit.ly/33JXogQ) More info, including show notes and sources at http://scandalousgamespodcast.wordpress.com.

In a world filled with war and violence, how should Christians interpret Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount such as “Resist not evil” (Matthew 5:39) and “To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also” (Luke 6:29, NKJV)? Are Christians supposed to stand aside while evil people destroy their homes, kill their family and neighbors, and steal their possessions?Dr. Bernard shares his thoughts on this difficult question and how Christians might respond when threatened with physical violence and potential harm. He also discusses how the Bible's teachings apply to participation in modern warfare and capital punishment.In this episode, Dr. Bernard references the book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a rating and a review on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform.

Vedran ‘Maz' Maslic is the host of ‘The Voices Of War'. In this episode, Maz interviews LTCOL Dave Grossman. You may be familiar with his books, most notably the one that has revolutionised the way we think and talk about combat. The book is, of course, ‘On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society', which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; has been translated into multiple languages; is on the US Marine Corps Commandant's Required Reading List; and is required reading at the FBI academy and numerous other academies and colleges around the world.

Repost of my chat with LTCOL Dave Grossman, originally published on 30 Aug 2021. --- Today, my guest is LTCOL Dave Grossman. He requires very little introduction, as I'm sure most of my audience will be intimately familiar with his books, most notably the one that has revolutionised the way we think and talk about combat. The book is of course ‘On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society', which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize; has been translated into multiple languages; is on the US Marine Corps Commandant's Required Reading List; and is required reading at the FBI academy and numerous other academies and colleges around the world. He is now the director of the ‘Killology Research Group' and is on the road almost 300 days a year, training elite military and law enforcement organisations worldwide about the reality of combat. During our chat, we discussed a range of topics, including Non-firers in combat and how we made killing a conditioned response How anonymity can enable violence and the importance of non-verbal communication The logic behind the term ‘killology' What LTCOL Grossman means by the phrase ‘no pity party, no macho man' Sleep deprivation and its effects on our societies The issue with high doses of caffeine in energy drinks  The impact of sleep deprivation on ethical decision making in soldiers and first responders Social blind spots and how they impact our decision making The blind spot of creating a generation desensitised to violence and war How medical technology decreases murder and death rate, and thereby hides an increase in violence How otherwise good people come to do bad things, particularly in war ‘Killing enabling factors' and how they can lead to atrocities ‘The virus of violent crime' and its implications for our future The need to understand causes of violence, not means to carry it out The power and danger of information Since I've barely scratched the surface of LTCOL Grossman's extensive biography, you can find an extended version here. You can find a list of other books he has written over the years, including the two mentioned in our chat—'On Combat' and 'Assassination Generation'—here.

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Dave Grossman. The Vietnam Veteran. This audio selection on The Vietnam Veteran serves as an introduction to this fine book. Purchase the book at your favorite bookstore or on Audible. Highly recommended by ACU.   The revised and updated edition of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's modern classic, hailed by the Washington Post as "an illuminating account of how soldiers learn to kill and how they live with the experiences of having killed."   The good news is that most soldiers are loath to kill. But armies have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. And contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques, and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young. Upon its initial publication, On Killing was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects soldiers, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent trends in crime, suicide bombings, school shootings, and more. The result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come.   "Powerfully argued...Full of arresting observations and insights." --New York Times

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and renown author Dave Grossman essentially created the field of killology. His books On Killing and On Combat have made an entire generation of military, law enforcement, and first responders more ready for the stressful, sometimes violent situations they face. Long after his active duty career, Dave has continued to teach the stress-response techniques outlined in his books, traveling to hundreds of bases, posts, and precincts over the years. In this episode, you discover what happens in the body during combat. Visual distortion, auditory exclusion, memory distortion, vasoconstriction, and loss of bladder control are all physiological effects that Soldiers and law enforcement personnel experience in extreme stress but rarely prepare for. Dave Grossman's books and instruction prepare combatants and protectors for the challenge of face-to-face violent stress and infuse confidence in those who have never experienced it before. If you have a team who might face violent stress one day, they need to hear this conversation. Personally, I can tell you that reading On Killing and On Combat made me more prepared for my own combat experience. I invite you to do the same. Read more about Dave Grossman's work at Killology Research Group and check out his books On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society and On Combat, The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace.

ATTENDEES Lt. Col. Dave Grossman / Josh Hockett / Walker Show Notes Lt. Col. Dave Grossman: Bio - Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an internationally-recognized author, scholar, soldier and speaker. He is one of the most sought after experts in the field of human aggression, the causes of violence and violent crimes. He is a former West Point psychology professor, Professor of Military Science, and Army Ranger. Using his experiences and knowledge of killing in war, the psychological costs of war, the causes of violent crimes, and the process of healing those who fall victim to violence, Col. Grossman coined a new field of scientific study termed “killology”. Col. Grossman is the author of the books On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society and On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace. Col. Grossman presents evidence that humans have a fear of killing and committing violent acts. Therefore, soldiers must be specifically trained to not only kill, but learn and understand the physiological and psychological reactions before, during, and after using lethal force. Col. Grossman has presented at more than one hundred colleges and universities worldwide and is highly sought after for training law enforcement and first responders at the state and federal level throughout the United States and the worldwide. In this episode, we discuss the following questions and topics with Col. Grossman: How did you begin your research in the psychology and understanding of killing in war? Explain reality-based training and how it helps soldiers and first responders perform during high-stress situations. Is there a connection between how physically fit a soldier is and his or her ability to perform and recover from high stress situations? What are your suggestions for mentally and physically preparing soldiers and first responders for the job? What are your suggestions for those trying to recover from having to kill in the line of duty? For more information on Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, check out the following: http://www.killology.com/

Jetzt wird’s ernst! Spät aber doch mischen auch wir uns in die sogenannte Killerspieldebatte ein und kämpfen uns mit solider Semikompetenz im Anschlag durch das Thema Gewaltdarstellung und -rezeption in diversen Medien. In der Love/Hate-Rubrik darf die Diskussion dank ‘Hardcore Henry’ dann doch ein paar Schuß Humor nachladen, und die Ferengi-Erwerbsregel bringt wieder einmal die Politik ins Spiel. Insgesamt dominieren die schweren Entscheidungen: Schlauchshooter oder Open World? Oper oder Musikantenstadl? Augenhöhe oder Mundwerk?

Psychology professor Lt. Col. Dave Grossman talks about his new book "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society". He maintains that it is inherent in us to resist killing our own species and that research has proven that many soldiers engaged in face-to-face combat found it difficult to kill. Soldiers can be trained however, to overcome that resistance. Some veterans are still plagued with guilt about taking another man's life, but this guilt can be eased if they are assured that what they did was right. Addressing the rise in civilian murders, he believes that part of the reason is that children are becoming desensitized to violence because they are associating the bombardment of graphic images by the media with pleasure. (Originally aired March 1996).
