Groupthink: Psychological Studies of Policy Decisions and Fiascoes

The book is in fair condition with noticeable wear. The cover shows signs of creasing and the spine has some scuffing. There is no dust jacket as it is a paperback. The pages are intact, with no inscriptions or library markings.

"Groupthink: Psychological Studies of Policy Decisions and Fiascoes" by Irving L. Janis is a seminal work published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1982. This is the second edition of the book, a revised and enlarged version of Janis's original study on the psychological phenomena of groupthink. Janis, a respected psychologist from Yale University, explores how group dynamics can lead to flawed decision-making processes, often resulting in policy disasters. This edition is particularly valuable for those interested in psychology, political science, and decision-making processes. The book is in paperback format, and while it shows some signs of wear, it remains a critical resource for understanding the intricacies of groupthink.
