Strategies Against Violence: Design for Nonviolent Change

Westview Replica Editions

This book is a Westview Replica Edition. The concept of Replica Editions is a response to the crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed; economic pressures on the university presses and the few private publishing companies primarily interested in scholarly manuscripts have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. Many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are today not economically viable publishing projects. Or, if they are accepted for publication, they are often subject to lead times ranging from one to three years. Scholars are understandably frustrated when they realize that their first-class research cannot be published within a reasonable time frame, if at all.

Westview Replica Editions seem to us one feasible and practical solution to the crisis. The concept is simple. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form and move it immediately into the production process. The responsibility for textual and copy editing lies with the author or sponsoring organization. If necessary we will advise the author on proper preparation of footnotes and bibliography. The manuscript is acceptable as typed for a thesis or dissertation or prepared in any other clearly organized and readable way, though we prefer it typed according to our specifications. The end result is a book produced by lithography and bound in hard covers. Edition sizes range from 200 to 600 copies. We will include among Westview Replica Editions only works of outstanding scholarly quality or of great informational value and we will exercise our usual editorial standards and quality control.

Strategies Against Violence: Design for Nonviolent Change

edited by Israel W. Charny

"What would you do to advance the cause of peace in this mad world?" An outstanding group of professionals in psychology, psychiatry, sociology, political science, law, education, journalism, philosophy, and the arts answer this question, working with the concepts and tools of their fields to build a plan or model for behaviors that are likely to advance man toward peace and nonviolent change. They provide a rich sampling of the new ideas for human life that are needed if we are, in fact, ever to evolve into a more peaceful species.

The book grew out of a series of sessions organized and chaired by Israel Charny at the annual meetings of the American Orthopsychiatric Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The contributions are organized around three themes: the person, the community and the culture, and the world. Topics include a model for nonviolent strength to counter aggression by others; an examination of the psychology of Adolph Eichmann, with some startling conclusions about how men should cultivate their normal aggressive emotions and enjoy fantasies of violence; how the American democratic process can be turned unknowingly toward disastrous collective violence; and the problem of reducing the contagion of violence spread by daily newscasts of violent events.

Israel W. Charny is senior researcher at the Henrietta Szold National Institute for Research in the Behavioral Sciences in Jerusalem and associate professor of psychology at Tel Aviv University's Center of Criminology and School of Social Work.

Guide

This book grew out of a series of symposiums and workshops organized and chaired by the author at the annual meetings of the American Orthopsychiatric Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science which were entitled "Design for Nonviolent Change." The participants were a group of respected behavioral scientists who were asked to present some plan for fighting the epidemic of violence that is everywhere in human affairs. Since it was entirely clear that no one proposal could possibly address the total range of human destructiveness, the speakers were specifically advised that any single idea or plan in even a small area of human experience or societal organization would be welcomed so long as it was believed this approach might contribute to reducing the toll of violence. The meetings drew huge audiences and national press and television coverage.
