This first-of-its-kind volume brings discursive psychology and
peace psychology together in a compelling practical synthesis. An
array of internationally-recognised contributors examine multiple
dimensions of discourse-official and casual, speech, rhetoric, and
text-in creating and maintaining conflict and building mediation
and reconciliation. Examples of strategies for dealing with
longstanding conflicts (the Middle East), significant flashpoints
(the Charlie Hebdo case), and current heated disputes (the refugee
'crisis' in Europe) demonstrate discursive methods in context as
they bridge theory with real life. This diversity of subject matter
is matched by the range of discursive approaches applied to peace
psychology concepts, methods, and practice. Among the topics
covered: Discursive approaches to violence against women. The
American gun control debate: a discursive analysis. Constructing
peace and violence in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Discursive
psychological research on refugees. Citizenship, social injustice,
and the quest for a critical social psychology of peace. The
emotional and political power of images of suffering: discursive
psychology and the study of visual rhetoric. Discourse, Peace, and
Conflict offers expansive ideas to scholars and practitioners in
peace psychology, as well as those in related areas such as social
psychology, political psychology, and community psychology with an
interest in issues pertaining to peace and conflict.
This book focuses on the reciprocal interactions between pain,
emotion and cognition. International experts report on their
findings, clinical experience and the most recent literature on the
complex relations between these three domains. Clinical,
psychological, behavioral and neuroimaging approaches converge
towards aiding patients suffering from pain, cognitive impairment
or emotional distress. Beyond the pathophysiological aspects of
pain, difficulties encountered with patients are analyzed and
strategies are proposed to optimize treatment, doctor-patient
relationships, and patient well-being. This work will appeal to a
broad readership, from clinical medical practitioners to
psychologists, nurses and pain specialists.

Stephen Gibson’s poems are the work of a serious, intent, often
appalled tourist. The word might look like a putdown, but his
subject is the glamour and horror of history, and when it comes to
the past, attentive tourism is the best that any of us can hope
for. This tourist’s gaze if focused and fascinated, his tone is
even and intelligent (as he has it in one poem, “scared in the
headlights, but the brain busy nonetheless”), and his technique
is all but flawless (unobtrusively so, a true case of art hiding
art). Together the gaze, the subjects on which it alights, and the
poet’s superlative skill add up to poems of astute, moving
observation and often overwhelming authority. —Dick Davis

Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments are among the most
influential and controversial scientific studies ever conducted.
The experiments are commonly understood to have shown how easily
people can be led into harming another person, simply as a result
of following orders. Recently, however, Milgram's studies have been
subjected to a sustained critique and re-evaluation. This book
draws on the vast stock of audio recordings from Milgram's
experiments to reveal how these experiments can be understood as
occasions for argumentation and rhetoric, rather than showing how
passive subjects can be led into simply doing as they are told. In
doing so, it reconsiders what we understand by 'obedience' and
extends how social psychologists have understood rhetoric itself.
Est-il possible pour une personne d' tre compl tement sainte tout
en vivant sur la terre? Est-ce que le fait que nous sommes humains
signifie que nous devons tre p cheurs? Consid rez ce verset: Car la
gr ce de Dieu, source de salut pour tous les hommes, a t manifest
e. Elle nous enseigne renoncer l'impi t et aux convoitises
mondaines, et vivre dans le si cle pr sent selon la sagesse, la
justice et la pi t (Tite 2.11-12). En d pit de notre environnement
et les d sirs humains, la gr ce nous montre que nous devrions mener
une vie sainte. Certaines personnes consid rent que l'humanit et la
saintet sont incompatibles, mais Dieu nous exhorte tre saints dans
cette vie.
