peace psychology  

Definition(s)

  • Peace psychology seeks to develop theory and practices that prevent and mitigate both direct violence and structural violence. Direct violence injures or kills people quickly and dramatically, whereas structural violence is much more widespread and kills far more people, by depriving them of basic need satisfaction.
