Because
we have much in common, I am extending to the
members of The American Academy of Experts
in Traumatic Stress a personal invitation
to be part of the Division of Peace Psychology
of the American Psychological Association. Hector
Betancourt, President of this Division, and
many of our members have followed the activities
of the Academy and have hoped for a closer tie.
The Division of Peace Psychology
exists to promote research, education and professional
activity with regard to issues involving peace,
nonviolent resolution of conflict, peace building,
and the prevention of violence. Members often
participate through one or more of our working
groups which include: Children, Families and
War; Ethnicity and Peace; Peace and Sustainable
Development; Public Policy and Actions; Peace
and Spirituality; International Alliances and
Ventures; Feminism and Peace Psychology; Militarism,
Disarmament, and Conversion; and Student Concerns.
Those who join Division 48 do not need to be
members of or join the American Psychological
Association.
Members receive Peace and
Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology,
a widely cited quarterly publication with a
distinguished international editorial board.
Members will also receive our newsletter. Most
importantly, members have the opportunity to
work with others who combine their work as psychologists
with their hopes for a just and peaceful world.
If you wish to join, you may
receive an application from our membership office
at:
Division of Peace Psychology
2607 Connecticut Ave., NW
Washington, DC 20008
Yearly membership dues are
$30.00 and $10.00 for students. If you would
like to contact our membership chair, call Steven
E. Handwerker, Ph.D., at (561) 447-6700 or e-mail
peacewk@laker.net.
