This week on Peace Paradigm Radio, we are joined by Rachel McNair – psychologist, sociologist and author of Perpetration-Induced Traumatic Stress: The Psychological Consequences of Killing – about the effects of violence on it’s perpetrators, and why we must expand our compassion to both “victim” and “offender” if we are going to make progress in the betterment of society. But perpetration-induced traumatic stress (PITS) has other implications, especially as it provides a scientific basis for what we already have intuited: we are interconnected and when harm is done, it affects more than just the recipient. Don’t miss this very interesting interview followed by an inspiring Nonviolence in the News segment!
