The troubles in Ireland have a long and profound history, leaving a devastating toll on both lives and psychological well-being. In his groundbreaking research, Dr. Fields has conducted extensive testing and interviews with children, women, and men from Northern Ireland since 1969, shedding light on the long-term effects of stress on a population. Through his case study, Fields has identified specific social control mechanisms that contribute to the chaos and docility experienced in the troubled North. He argues that England has deliberately established these mechanisms to erode the identity of the people, a process he refers to as psychological genocide.
This volume is a groundbreaking application of social-psychological theory to a real-world and ongoing situation. By immersing himself in the lives of the people, Fields has provided a unique perspective that is both illuminating for the general reader and invaluable for specialists in the field. His work is a testament to the importance of understanding the impact of stress on communities and the need for targeted interventions to address these issues.
It is remarkable that until now, no one had undertaken such a comprehensive study of the effects of stress on a population. Dr. Fields' dedication to his research and his commitment to shedding light on the hidden toll of stress on individuals and communities is a significant contribution to the field of social psychology. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of social dynamics and the urgent need for positive change.
