Violent States and Creative States (2 Volume Set): From the Global to the Individual (English Edition) Kindle-editie
This is a provocative collection exploring the different types of violence and how they relate to one another, examined through the integration of several disciplines, including forensic psychotherapy, psychiatry, sociology, psychosocial studies and political science. By examining the 'violent states' of mind behind specific forms of violence and the social and societal contexts in which an individual act of human violence takes place, the contributors reveal the dynamic forces and reasoning behind specific forms of violence including structural violence, and conceptualise the societal structures themselves as 'violent states'.
Other research often stops short at examining the causes and risk factors for violence, without considering the opposite states that may not only mitigate, but allow for a different unfolding of individual and societal evolution. As a potential antidote to violence, the authors prescribe an understanding of these 'creative states' with their psychological origins, and their importance in human behaviour and meaning-seeking. Making a call to move beyond merely mitigating violence to the opposite direction of fostering creative potential, this book is foundational in its capacity to cultivate social consciousness and effect positive change in areas of governance, policy-making, and collective responsibility.
This two-volume set includes:
Volume 1: Structural Violence and Creative Structures ISBN 9781785925641
Volume 2: Human Violence and Creative Humanity ISBN 9781785925658

There's various therapeutic interventions mentioned throughout like Mentalisation Based Training, psychodynamic therapy, social dreaming (a form of group psychoanalysis) however what makes this book so unique is the way it links the personal with the political. Psychological & forensic topics are discussed alongside structural violence-poverty amongst African Americans in Baltimore, USA, women in Rwanda who have experienced sexual violence to name but a few. This combination lends the book a deep emotional richness. One of the most intriguing & provocative chapters explores how the political can sometimes be personal.
What I found truly refreshing about the book is how it doesn't preach to the reader. One is really encouraged to think deeply about all the issues presented in the book. I found myself reflecting upon the contents of the book a lot-much more than I normally would. It stirred up a lot of emotions within me-namely a deep sense of unease.
Life can be very chaotic and messy and this collection really reflects this complexity. There's no "right answers" or "ideal solutions", no "recovery stories" or "success stories". Instead, different voices are represented in the book-voices from all over the world so in this sense, the book is truly global and includes mental health professionals and psychiatric survivors alike.
The book's key strength is its inclusiveness-in a time when protectionism appears attractive to several world leaders, this collection is looking out at the world. That in itself gives me hope that a strong sense of community is one of the best ways to defeat social alienation and violence. By coming together, people can really change the world around them and themselves for that matter.
Finally, I admired how the collection closed with a quote from Rudolf Virchow. It seemed a fitting way of tying all the loose pieces together in the book.
