This is the second edition of "Groupthink: Psychological Studies of Policy Decisions and Fiascoes" by Irving L. Janis, published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1982. This revised and enlarged edition builds on Janis's earlier work on the psychological mechanisms influencing policy decisions. Janis, a notable psychologist from Yale University, explores the dynamics of groupthink and its impact on decision-making, making it a significant contribution to both psychology and political science. This edition is particularly valuable for scholars and enthusiasts interested in understanding the cognitive biases that lead to policy fiascoes. The book is a softcover edition, ex-library with typical markings, and does not include a dust jacket.
