The Psychology Of Peace

An Introduction

BY RACHEL MACNAIR

Brief Description:
For individual health, healing professionals study first the causes and effects of diseases, then how to treat them. A similar quest for recovery--but a recovery of societal health--is the focal point for The Psychology of Peace. Accordingly, the first theme of the book is the causes and effects of violence. Next is the study of treatment, which in this case means causes and effects of behavior designed to counter violence. Further study of treatment is presented in problem-solving approaches to real-world situations: for example, understanding conflict resolution when both parties are willing, as well as nonviolent struggle when one side is not.
