Bellum psychicum,[2][3][4] vel fundamentales negotiorum psychicorum[5] res, sunt usus artium ad mentes hostium sic commovendas, ut vel se impares bello vel deditionem sibi profuturam esse crederent. Quod terminus adhibetur ad significandam "ullam actionem quae plerumque rationibuspsychologicis exercetur, eo consilio ut destinatus affectus psychologicus in aliis hominibus eliciatur."[6] Sic bellum non armis, sed verbis consilioque geritur.
Etiam negotia auxiliaria informationis militaris (Anglicemilitary information support operations), bellum politicum, "animi et mentes" (Anglice hearts and minds), et propaganda tantum appellata.
Anglice "any action which is practiced mainly by psychological methods with the aim of evoking a planned psychological reaction in other people" (Szunyogh 1955: 13).
