Product Information
With every passing year mankind's role as its own worst enemy increases and the global population seems to be racing ever forward toward increasing harm and self-extinction. We are currently facing the threat of armed conflict, or ecological crises, of uncontrolled population, of economic collapse - problems that are all created by human beings. Our current problems are no longer the issue of one government against another, or one population suffering its own particular fate. They are increasingly interrelated, taking on global significance. Starting from the premise that the major threats against human survival today are caused by human behaviour, Psychology and Social Responsibility: Facing Global Challenges explores how we can act to assure our common survival. Intended as a call to action for the creation of a socially responsible psychology, this book brings attention to the psychological forces and processes that we now know contribute to the creation of our major social and global problems. The challenge then lies in identifying the root causes and discovering ways of controlling and ameliorating them through education, clinical practice and activism.Product Identifiers
