Victor Counted's The Roots of Radicalization poses a landmark in bridging interpersonal, place-based, and religious forms of attachment surrounding the twenty-first century's most pervasive phenomenon: radicalization. Counted frames various forms of extremism within the ecosystem of contemporary social reality, analyzing radicalization's tragic basis in psychological attachment disruption (whether this pertains to an abstract religious figure or to mundane social and environmental bodies). Counted's argument converges with other brilliant ideas within recent psychological and social science trends and draws on relevant science-based implications to inspire and design constructive solutions to what could otherwise be a lethal global scenario. -- Marino Bonaiuto, Sapienza University of Rome
