Too often, partisan politics fuels the debate but prevents a full discussion of facts, particularly those facts on which both sides agree. What might the field of peace psychology offer to this debate? Is there empirical evidence from psychology that will add more light than heat? Can the common conflict-transformation method apply by considering the interests people have in common, not merely hardened positions, so that creative solutions may be found? Can we at least have a full and accurate understanding of what the various perspectives are so as to facilitate a more constructive dialog? We cover: Part 1. The Psychology of Violence against Women: Where Pro-Choice and Pro-Life Conclusions are Almost Indistinguishable (intimate partner violence; coercion or pressure; sexual trafficking and rape; war; and gendercide in sex-selection abortions) Part 2. Post-abortion Aftermath (methodology; risk factors; therapy; pro and con on what the aftermath for women is; lost fatherhood; abortion doctors and staff) Part 3. Other Contentious Topics (child abuse; perspectives on specific populations including people with disabilities, racial minorities, people in developing countries, LBGT people, and conscientious objectors; and empirical data on impact of legal regulations) Part 4. The Constructive Program (pregnancy prevention; meeting the needs of pregnant women, new mothers, children and families; transforming the debate over abortion)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50193260937489,"sku":"CIN1530838266G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52153553879313,"sku":"CIN1530838266VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52751943926033,"sku":"NIN9781530838264","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1530838266.jpg?v=1750718314"},{"product_id":"psychology-of-peace-book-rachel-m-macnair-9780275978563","title":"The Psychology of Peace","description":"For individual health, healing professionals study first the causes and effects of diseases, then how to treat them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50468166762769,"sku":"CIN0275978567G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50603229511953,"sku":"GOR010909298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51747156164881,"sku":"CIN0275978567VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0275978567.jpg?v=1751228444"},{"product_id":"psychology-of-peace-book-rachel-m-macnair-9780313397233","title":"The Psychology of Peace","description":"Despite our advances in technology and education, we still live in a world permeated by violence. This introductory textbook in the field of peace psychology addresses the psychological causes of violence and nonviolence, conflict resolution, nonviolent struggle, and the confluence of public policy and private lifestyles. Just as health providers study disease and its prevention, understanding the causes of violent behavior and how to prevent such behavior is a basic cornerstone for those who are working towards a healthy society. Another parallel: maintaining physical health involves positive practices; similarly, positive nonviolent approaches need to be psychologically understood and encouraged. The second edition of  The Psychology of Peace: An Introduction demonstrates what can be learned through the lens of peace psychology, providing a solid foundation in the psychological theories needed for building and maintaining a peaceful society and peaceful individuals.  This second edition incorporates the tremendous amount of new research and subsequent events since 2003, including post-2003 violent and nonviolent revolutions, such as the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the nonviolent overthrowing of dictators in Tunisia and Egypt. Author MacNair again outlines why application of psychological study to the soundness of decision-making for public policy—and to the policies themselves—is crucial knowledge, and how applying the study to private practices and even art can help build up a peaceful society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50575047557393,"sku":"CIN0313397236G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51157031977233,"sku":"NGR9780313397233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615879557393,"sku":"NLS9780313397233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0313397236.jpg?v=1750812732"},{"product_id":"perpetration-induced-traumatic-stress-book-rachel-m-macnair-9780595347643","title":"Perpetration-Induced Traumatic Stress","description":"Since the 2003 war in Iraq has generated another flood of combat veterans who must live with the psychological consequences of having killed people, their loved ones and people in the media have become keenly interested in what those consequences are and how to deal with them.

The call is for opposition to abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia and other forms of killing to be consistent. Supporters of this view, shared widely in these pages, include figures from the Dalai Lama and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malread Corrifon Maguire to actor Martin Sheen and Village Voice columnist Nat Hentoff. It is at once an ethical, religious and political ideology, explored here in its application to actions from treatment of unborn humans to infants, the disabled, the poverty-stricken, war combatants and animals.  In the work at hand, contributors explain the history of the pro-life movement, its growth and expansion, how these types of seemingly disparate killing are all linked, why a Consistent Life Ethic is needed, and how individuals can take steps to assure this ethic is more widely accepted.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52349578379537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52349579002129,"sku":"NLS9780313352782","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780313352782.jpg?v=1758179430"},{"product_id":"psychology-of-peace-book-rachel-m-macnair-9780275978556","title":"The Psychology of Peace","description":"Miracles and challenges of hiking the Camino de Santiago are revealed in Crossroads, an easy-to-read, travel adventure, with a touch of suspense.

Covering all the major—and some of the larger minor—religions of the world, Religions and Nonviolence: The Rise of Effective Advocacy for Peace examines the rich history of how human thinking on nonviolence has developed and what each religion offers to the theory and practice of nonviolence, providing a counterpoint to the perspective that religion has largely inspired violence and intolerance. It also traces the contributions of religious traditions to secular nonviolent practices, recognizes and explains why religion has historically inspired violence, and provides additional resources for investigating the crossroads of religion and advocacy of nonviolence and peace.  The author addresses the nonviolence traditions in religions such as Bahai, Buddhism, Christianity, Ethical Atheism, the First Nations of North America, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Tenrikyo, and Revitalized Paganism. Ancient religions with important contributions to nonviolence—Zoroastrianism, Taoism, and Jainism—receive attention, as do Mo Tse and other Chinese philosophers as well as Pythagoras and other classical Greek thinkers. Students of religion, history of religion, sociology, or psychology will find this book key to achieving a balanced and therefore more accurate understanding of both religion and history. General readers will gain insights into the commonalities among different religions as well as each major religion's historical and current stances on issues of violence, such as human or animal sacrifice, slavery, war, and the death penalty.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53639444300049,"sku":"NLS9798765123652","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798765123652.jpg?v=1781011720"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-rachel-m-macnair.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
