Discover how issues of world war and peace relate to the dynamics
of couples therapy in this thought-provoking book. In Peace, War,
and Mental Health, couples therapists provide diverse views on the
links between strengthening marriages and preventing and solving
international disputes. Although the contributors vary in their
approaches to this issue, a common theme is the belief that couples
as well as countries need to build bridges, not walls, for healthy
relationships and they need to strive to learn what others are
really feeling, thinking, or needing underneath the defenses others
exhibit.The contributing therapists in Peace, War, and Mental
Health explore the various links between couples in conflict and
nations at war. Chapters describe how prevention strategies used
for couples in therapy may be applied to the well-being of the
world as a whole and how significant change is possible through the
involvement of only a small percentage of the population. Other
chapters focus on specific tools for couples therapy such as
outlines of the major tasks of relationship building and traps that
mitigate against good relationship construction, a description of
the nuts and bolts of conflict resolution, and the use of
flashcards to help both members of the pair present his or her real
feelings to the other. Some of the intriguing topics covered in
this book include: the relationship between psychotherapy and
spirituality and the paradox of individuals longing to belong since
each is a part of the whole the role of gender on war and its
potential impact on peace the failure of the humanistic movement
societal attitudes linking domestic violence and large scale
violence how the potential for resolution of differences in couples
can be applied to peace among nations how prevention may be
expanded to include the "mental health" of the whole world--Part V
of an interview with Virginia SatirPeace, War, and Mental Health
helps therapists look at international peace and couples therapy
with new perspectives, a necessity in today's rapidly changing
family and world climate.
