It is an investigation into the problems of conflict and discrimination, and aims to help the reader gain a clearer understanding of relations within and between groups.

Hurt Feelings
If not expressed and shared with caring others, anger, sadness, and fear are at the bottom of mental illness. Developmentally, each of these feelings respectively gives rise to anti-social acts, depression, and severe mental illness. This book suggests that instead of traditional one-on-one, face-to-face, conversation-based interventions, distance writing will allow mental health professionals to assign interactive practice exercises specifically focused on hurt feelings.

Peace Education
Schools can do little to reduce the economic and political causes of war and violence, but they can do much to moderate the psychological factors by helping students understand the forces that manipulate them. This book provides an approach to peace education designed to help students understand these psychological factors.

After-School Centers and Youth Development
This book examines after-school programs in light of their explosive growth in recent years. In the rush to mount programs, there is a danger of promoting weak ones of little value and failing to implement strong ones adequately. The authors examine how – and why – young people thrive in good programs and suffer in weak ones. The study breaks new ground in highlighting the importance of factors such as collective mentoring, synergies among different programs and activities, and organizational culture and practices.
