Peace psychology is a cross-disciplinary subject which has only recently developed both its theoretical framework and methodological practice. Therefore, peace psychology is a new discipline, not only because of the novel contents of its thematic field (conflicts, peace, etc.), at least as far as its collective dimension is concerned, but also because of the distinctive novelty of the thinking framework on which it is based. In addition to the original nature of its thematic field, peace psychology proposes above all a new form of psychological practice which, similarly to nonviolence and active peacemaking, challenges the traditional frameworks of thought.

Abstract

Peace psychology is a cross-disciplinary subject which has only recently developed both its theoretical framework and methodological practice. Therefore, peace psychology is a new discipline, not only because of the novel contents of its thematic field (conflicts, peace, etc.), at least as far as its collective dimension is concerned, but also because of the distinctive novelty of the thinking framework on which it is based. In addition to the original nature of its thematic field, peace psychology proposes above all a new form of psychological practice which, similarly to nonviolence and active peacemaking, challenges the traditional frameworks of thought.
