Psychology and the Prevention of War Trauma
The role of professional psychology in providing assistance to soldiers and veterans was highlighted by an issue of the American Psychologist devoted to a program for using positive psychology for resilience training. Shortcomings of that approach led to AP agreeing to publish another issue on alternative perspectives. This article reviewed for that issue but was not accepted by their reviewers. Since it is critical of the relation between the Am…
Globalization and Conflict
Globalization refers to a complex set of cultural, economic, political, and environmental changes. They reflect a transfer from diverse, separate, and local options to standardized, interconnected, centralized, and global ones. At the onset of the twenty‐first century globalization is perhaps the most potent force affecting human behavior and experience. Many symbols are recognized globally, goods and information cross borders instantaneously, an…

Toward a Psychosocial Theory of Military and Economic Violence in the Era of Globalization
A theory of the roots of violent conflict in the global era focuses upon a pattern of intervention by the United States, its allies, and proxy forces. It emphasizes a dominant set of beliefs and powerful networks in a position to apply them. The networks protect and extend their concentrations of wealth using violence or the threat of violence to produce compliant governments, to identify enemies, to mobilize consent, and to minimize the perceive…

A job and a home: Social networks and the integration of the mentally disabled in the community
Formerly hospitalized psychiatric patients participated in a program including skills in apartment living and employment. Contrasted to a comparison group, program graduates showed more multifunctional and more reciprocal relationships with other people. Results highlight the importance of work, housing, and the utilization of community services, and suggest the quality of supportive interpersonal relations as a criterion of program success
Ecological Psychology, Caring, and the Boundaries of the Person
The central theme of ecological psychology is interdependence or connection that serves to sustain the balance of life on the planet. The lack of interdependent orientation is clearly seen in a report of a comparative risk assessment process used to rank environmental dangers. Combined emphases on self-development and objective indicators give psychology too little capacity to address ecological concerns. Ecological psychology shares with some in…
Selective civility, apolitical politics, limited democracy, and mainstream psychology
There is much merit in the proposals of Johnson and Johnson (this issue), especially in their explicit depiction of ways to raise the level of discourse in the nation and thereby improve democratic processes. However, unless fundamental flaws in the social- economic-political system are corrected, those most in need will not participate in the discourse
Addictive rewards in nuclear weapons development
Over the next decade the U.S. plans to invest U.S.$45 billion in the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program for nuclear weapons research, development, testing and production. In constant dollars, that amount is well in excess of the annual Cold War spending average of U.S.S3.64 billion for directly comparable activities. The recent testing of nuclear weapons by India and Pakistan are cases of nuclear weapons development unrelated to militar…
The hidden structure of contemporary violence
The concept of structural violence is related to the phenomenon of direct violence. The global economy is examined as one structural source useful in identifying the roots of diverse manifestations of violence. These manifestations include child abuse by refugees, AIDS among poor women, domestic terrorism, slave trade in prostitution, victimization from environmental contamination, and the abuse of children and women in sweatshops. The global eco…
Resolving ideological clashes through dialogue: Abortion as a case study
Controversies presented in absolute moral terms afford little opportunity for resolution by appeal to either legal definitions or empirical social science evidence. Two models that offer some hope of resolution for such seemingly intractable conflicts as that on abortion are described. The collaborative behavior model is illustrated by a real-life attempt to unite some key protagonists in the abortion debate in efforts to work together on a super…
Coming Together for Action: The Challenge of Contemporary Grassroots Community Organizing
The question of what role remains for grassroots community organizing in the postindustrial, global‐information society is up for timely review. Can local organizing restore communities in need? Can such activity prevent global technologies and economies from destroying the foundations and the habitats of all living communities? We first identify what is distinct about grassroots community action. This discussion is built around three concepts: s…

Caregiver burden: Gender and the psychological costs of caregiving
The psychological costs of providing care for a parent with Alzheimer's disease are examined, together with the consequences of depression, anxiety, guilt, and resentment in relation to the caregiver's coping style, social support, and sense of control. The use of fantasy by women as a coping mechanism was associated with greater anxiety and depression, adequate social support was somewhat more helpful for men, and a sense of control was more hel…
Caregiving: Where Families Need Help
T HE NUMBER of individuals whosurvive a long-term disability that resulted from either illness, accident, or genetic defect is increasing markedly. Every disabled child or adult creates a family of caregivers whose assistance is depended on. Some caregivers man-age the strain; others lack the resources and are at risk of physical or emotional breakdown themselves. Because many disabilities vary greatly in severity, an exact assessment of care nee…
Public perception of technological risk
A public opinion survey of three California cities assessed the extent of public concern over risks associated with modern technologies. A substantial majority of respondents were concerned with each of ten areas, with concern being more widespread among women and less widespread among the more educated. Respondents relied heavily on television news and newspapers for information and varied in rating the reliability of different information sourc…
Personal support systems of former mental patients residing in board-and-care facilities
This is a study of the personal support networks of a selected group of formerly hospitalized psychiatric patients now residing in board-and-care facilities in Galt, California. Its purpose was to assess the particular forms of support available to such persons and to suggest ways in which short-comings in needed supportive interaction might be remedied. The article first reviews the circumstances of board-and-care placement. It then examines the…
Assessing Risk: A Public Analysis of the Medfly Eradication Program
The Mediterranean Fruit Fly eradication program provided an opportunity to assess public attitudes toward technological risks. This is a case study of 126 residents from a metropolitan area who, during the 1981-82 Mediterranean Fruitfly Crisis, were undergoing exposure to aerial spraying with a pesticide. While only one-third of the subjects expressed fear of danger to their health and to the environment, 94 percent undertook one or more major be…
Experimenting with the Arms Race
The study involves a game that simulates certain basic features of an arms race-disarmament dilemma. The game is a modification of the widely studied two-person prisoner's dilemma. The more complex conditions involve options for requesting or refusing a request for an inspection of the other player's armament level prior to the payoff move, or for engaging in a “sudden death” surprise attack. The manner in which the inspection opportunity is used…

Leaders and Ruling Elites: The Interorganizational Bases of Community Power
Power can be viewed as a property of interorganizational ties, which can be described in terms of resource networks. The creation of these resource networks, which are essential for power, are found in the interlocks of executives with multiple organizational positions. When resource networks are used as the unit of analysis, persons identified as influentials can be viewed as interchangeable, thereby reducing dependence on methodologies using co…

Supportive Networks: Life Ties for the Elderly
Recent studies suggest that the increased vulnerability of the older person to physical and/or mental breakdown is related to loss or deficiency in the pattern of supportive ties. With increases in the geographical separation of adult children from their parents, and with greater longevity, the needs of the elderly are increasingly being transferred from the family either to public service settings or to voluntary associations. The resource needs…

The university contribution to resolution of international conflicts
The university has applied itself to the resolution of international conflict mainly through the path-breaking and dedicated efforts of social scientists doing “peace research.” Mainstreams of this research are examined and found suggestive but are not likely to find application. The gap exists in critical examination of the basis of American decision-making power, which is largely responsible for the perpetuation of a system of international for…

Deriving a Language for Interaction Sequences
Two parties in a conflict situation go through cycles of interactive behavior. Their independent moves within these cycles can be scored along a dimension of hostile-conciliatory, but there exists no precise language to describe a pattern of moves and move responses. This article examines data from moves by nations in the cold war and from moves made by players in a laboratory conflict situation. It then develops some preliminary language for par…
Mental health mystification and social control
The field of mental health suffers from an abundance of technical jargon. The major social issues that touch upon mental health are debated in these technical terms, but persons most affected by the issues are left out of the debate. Hence, professionals have come to serve as an exclusionary buffer between human anguish and social policy
