As violence erupts in endless cycles and old grievances reemerge
throughout the world, we are challenged to examine the
underpinnings of protracted conflict. In this bold new work, Thomas
Scheff argues that the roots of protracted conflict lie in
unacknowledged feelings of shame and rage. Scheff builds from the
assumption that the social bond is a real and palpable phenomena
and that in every type of human contact the bond is either built,
maintained, repaired, or damaged. He then demonstrates how damaged
bonds are the basic cause of conflict. When one side or the other
in a dispute is humiliated or threatened in such a way as to
disturb fundamental bonds, the feelings that follow are often not
acknowledged. Threats to the social bond give rise to violent
emotions, shame, and rage. Unless these feelings are resolved, the
stage is then set for cycles of insult, humiliation, and bloody
revenge. According to Scheff, it is by recognizing the emotional
source of conflict and repairing the broken social bond that both
sides achieve cognitive and emotional understanding, allowing them
to trust and cooperate, and perceive themselves as "all in the same
boat." Thus, secure social bonds ensure clear boundaries-even
during competition or conflict-that help keep wars limited and make
disagreements productive.
