All of them based their dangerous and destructive actions, to a large extent, on a message they believed they received from God. The receipt of messages from God is known by many religions as \"spiritual gifts theology.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his earlier book, \u003ci\u003eImplicit Rhetoric: Kenneth Burke's Extension of Aristotle's Concept of Entelechy\u003c\/i\u003e, author Stan Lindsay presented the concept of psychotic entelechy, which is based on Burke's writings. In this new work, Lindsay expands upon the concept of psychotic entelechy by analyzing the religious motives behind the dangerous behavior of some individuals and organizations. \u003ci\u003ePsychotic Entelechy\u003c\/i\u003e also illustrates the curative aspect of the Burkean methods and presents key indicators of psychotic entelechy. The hope, and ultimate goal, is that as readers learn to identify psychotic entelechy in their own lives and\/or the lives of those whom they influence or who influence them, the dangers will be diminished.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStan A.
