Peace Through Health: How Health Professionals Can Work for a Less Violent World

We typically define and talk about wars using the language of politics, but what happens when you bring in a doctor s perspective on conflict? Can war be diagnosed like an illness? Is the concept of "peacebuilding" simply the extension of healthcare and therapy beyond the individual, to encompass communities and nations? The contributors to Peace through Health: How Health Professionals Can Work for a Less Violent World engage with these ground-breaking ideas and describe tools that can further peace once war is understood as a public health problem.
