The New Psychology of War
This project explores the collaboration between psychological science and the United States military since the attacks on September 11, 2001. What are the theoretical, psychological, and political implications of this collaboration?
Resilience: How one concept changed the psychology of war
War has returned to Europe, but how we understand the psychology of war and its aftermath has changed over the last twenty years. In this book researchers explore how the concept of “resilience” became militarized in the post-9/11 wars and how it has reshaped the way western societies understand and attempt to manage the psychological effects of violence - sometimes with unfortunate consequences.
New psychological approach to war rests on selective reading of history
The military use of “positive psychology” rejects a liberal memory culture that sees war as inherently traumatic.
Psychological sciences shape how societies respond to extreme events
New project will explore the science and politics of trauma since 9/11
