Summary/Abstract: The article addresses one of the most controversial topics in psychology - betrayal and tries, in a pragmatic and concise manner, to answer, in a psychological way, a series of questions on this issue. What types of betrayal can be identified? What are the psychological mechanisms of betrayal? What are the emotions of betrayal? What are the motivations of betrayal? What can be said about the vulnerabilities of traitors? How can the obstacles that are placed in the way of betrayal be approached psychologically? Does betrayal have any ethics? How can “culture of intelligence” prevent betrayal? Is there a specific psycho-clinical manifestation for traitors and other? In the hope that I have aroused your interest in this subject, I invite you to read it.
