"Is it possible for individuals and for nations to move beyond selfish destructiveness, and learn to live in cooperation and harmony?" "Following the success of his bestselling Toxic Psychiatry, an attack on a profession out of control, Dr. Peter R. Breggin now describes the true way ahead: conflict resolution through liberty and through love." "Beyond Conflict is a compelling and humane analysis. Dr. Breggin discloses the origins of guilt, shame, anxiety, and numbing. He shows how these negative emotions impact on broader issues such as child and spouse abuse, sexism, racism, poverty, war, and recent developments in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East." "Beyond Conflict describes the three fundamental methods - coercion, liberty, and love - for satisfying people's basic needs and resolving the bitter antagonisms that poison both personal and political dealings. By demonstrating the links between the three methods and the over-arching significance of the last - love - Dr. Breggin sets the agenda for a vigorous and viable future for us all."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
