The troubles in Ireland are not new. They have taken a heavy toll
in lives and, perhaps more importantly, in psychological health.
From testing and interviews with the children, women, and men of
Northern Ireland beginning in 1969, Fields has developed a case
study of the long-term effects of stress on a population. She
identifies certain social control mechanisms which produce a
mixture of chaos and docility in the troubled North and argues that
England has established these in order to destroy the identity of
the people--a process of "psychological genocide." This volume
applies social-psychological theory to a concrete and ongoing
situation in a way that is illuminating for the general reader and
for the specialist. Fields has done what might appear obvious: to
find out the effects of stress on a population by going to that
population and observing what their lives are like. The remarkable
fact is that until now, no one has done so.
