RE: Guerrilla Psychology

You might want to use the popular film “Wag the Dog” to introduce or frame some of the techniques.   Dennis   Dennis M.

Do any of you know of: a)  resources for the above topics (good books, movies, etc.) b)  other areas where psychological principles are typically used in this fashion?
