The book Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding offers a
template for those dealing with the aftermath of armed conflict to
look at peacebuilding through a psychosocial lens. This Volume, and
the case studies that are in it, starts from the premise that armed
conflict and the political violence that flows from it, are deeply
contextual and that in dealing with the impact of armed conflict,
context matters. The book argues for a conceptual shift, in which
psychosocial practices are not merely about treating individuals
and groups with context and culturally sensitive methods and
approaches: the contributors argue that such interventions and
practices should in themselves shape social change. This is of
critical importance because the psychosocial method continually
highlights how the social context is one of the primary causes of
individual psychological distress. The chapters in this book
describe experiences within very different contexts, including
Guatemala, Jerusalem, Indian Kashmir, Mozambique, Northern Ireland,
South Africa and Sri Lanka. The common thread between the case
studies is that they each show how psychosocial interventions and
practices can influence the peacebuilding environment and foster
wider social change. Psychosocial Perspectives on Peacebuilding is
essential reading for social and peace psychologists, as well as
for students and researchers in the field of conflict and peace
studies, and for psychosocial practitioners and those working in
post-conflict areas for NGO's.
