- Abstract
In this paper we would like to give a detailed summary of psychological explanations of suicide terrorism. Our aim is to help understanding this horrible phenomenon and thinking about the possibilities of prevention. In this review we define the conception of terrorism and suicide bombing. The main emphasis is on the analysis of the hungarian and international literature of personal psychological approaches of suicide terrorism, but there are a lot of other, for example political, religious, cultural, sociological factors in the background of motivation. It is important to mention the role of women in suicide attacks as well. At the end of this summary we try to answer the question: is there any kind of specific suicide terrorist profile?
