Álvaro Rodríguez-Carballeira, Ph.D.

 

Álvaro Rodríguez-Carballeira, Ph.D., is Professor of Social Psychology, Social Movements, and Legal Psychology at the University of Barcelona (Spain).  Since 1999 he has been Director of the Social Psychology Department. During the 1980s, before and after a 1985 internship at ICSA, he worked with families and victims affected by cult membership. He then worked as a professor at the University of Barcelona, where he completed a doctoral dissertation in 1991 on psychology of coercive persuasion. During recent years he has extended this line of research, linking it to other contexts (e.g., domestic, work, school) where manipulation and psychological violence may occur. His publications include the book, El Lavado de Cerebro: Psicología de la Persuasión Coercitiva. (Brainwashing: Psychology of Coercive Persuasion).

Álvaro Rodríguez-Carballeira, Ph.D., es Profesor Titular del Departamento de Psicología Social de la Universidad de Barcelona, Departamento del que es director desde 1999. Hizo su tesis doctoral sobre la “Psicología de la persuasión coercitiva” en el campo de las sectas, resumida en el libro “El lavado de cerebro”. En la actualidad extiende su investigación sobre los procesos de persuasión coercitiva a otras formas de dominación para el sometimiento o la exclusión, como son la violencia psicológica hacia la pareja o en el lugar de trabajo (mobbing). Otras líneas de investigación son: el comportamiento colectivo y los movimientos sociales (en especial los fenómenos de terrorismo), y los componentes de la satisfacción con la vida o felicidad.
