Friends --

When my publisher told me to cut the original 125,000 words down to 100,000 on my peace psychology textbook (ouch!), one of the first things to go was a history of peace psychology. It referred to early roots, but started in earnest with William James. A highly abridged chronology went into the book, but the full 8,750-word article is now up on the web at:

http://www.rachelmacnair.com/peace-psych-history

I've also put together a set of suggestions for research projects in peace psychology. Many would be suitable for student projects or dissertation projects:

If anyone has other good research project suggestions, I'd be happy to add them in.

On a more narrow aspect, I've put up some basic information on the thesis that killing is a traumatic stressor that can cause PTSD symptoms (Perpetration-Induced Traumatic Stress, or PITS):

... along with illustrative instances in world literature:

... and personal stories:

Feel free to forward this information on to those people or lists you know might be interested.
