This multidisciplinary volume considers the role of both public
health and mental health policies and practices in the prevention
of mass atrocity, including war crimes, crimes against humanity,
and genocide. The authors address atrocity prevention through the
framework of primary (pre-conflict), secondary (mid-conflict), and
tertiary (post-conflict) settings. They examine the ways in which
public health and mental health scholars and practitioners
currently orient their research and interventions and the ways in
which we can adapt frameworks, methods, tools, and practice toward
a more sophisticated and truly interdisciplinary understanding and
application of atrocity prevention. The book brings together
diverse fields of study by global north and global south authors in
diverse contexts. It culminates in a narrative that demonstrates
the state of the current fields on intersecting themes within
public health, mental health, and mass atrocity prevention and the
future potential directions in which these intersections could go.
Such discussions will serve to influence both policy makers and
practitioners in these fields toward developing, adapting, and
testing frames and tools for atrocity prevention. Multidisciplinary
perspectives are represented among editors and authors, including
law, political science, international studies, public health,
mental health, philosophy, clinical psychology, social psychology,
history, and peace studies.

At the turn of the century gynecology had achieved independence
from surgery in most medical schools; although gynecologists were
surgeons, their interests were turning toward nonsurgical aspects
of their specialty. In 1900, merely two years after the Curies'
discovery, radium was first used as a treatment for carcinoma of
the cervix. In that day cervical cancer claimed more women's lives
than any other malignancy and was described by Wil liam P. Graves,
the second professor of gynecology at Harvard as follows: 'Cancer
of the cervix may rightly be termed of all tumors one of the most
deadly and most ghastly. It kills by slow torture, causing in later
stages months of agonizing pain and producing a discharge of such a
foul and nauseating character as to repel proper medical
assistance. Nurses declined to care for these cases, while many
public hospitals closed their wards to them as patients. ' In late
twentieth century parlance the dramatic results of radium therapy
would indeed have been called a 'breakthrough'? and radium
techniques, later combined with external irradiation, were devel
oped by gynecologists, no longer just surgeons. Pathology was the
basic science of gynecology and gynecologists with a special
interest in pathology served as pathologist to the departments of
gynecology. As late as 1970 six months of the three-year residency
program in obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard were devoted to
formal training in pathology."
