“…The K.G.B. method required four to six weeks to produce "breakdown," whereas the British were able to achieve similar effects in six days (Shallice, 1972). The prisoner loses his ability to engage in complex thinking and spontaneous activity, becomes passively dishevelled, and may uncaringly soil himself.…”

2This chapter explores some of the implications of Latin American Liberation Psychology (LALP) for an engaged critical psychological practice in core capitalist countries (CCC's) such as Britain.Some key concepts from Liberation Psychology (LP) will be explored in the CCC context including 'conscientization', 'realismo-critico', 'de-ideologisation', the socialsocietal orientation, 'the preferential option for the oppressed majorities' and methodological eclecticism. These will be contrasted with both mainstream and critical psychologies in the CCC's, which have been broadly characterised by individualism and idealism respectively. Some examples of practice that are more in tune with the LALP approach will be identified:In conclusion the prospects and limits of a 'really social psychology' will be explored.

“…The techniques used built on the sensory deprivation experiments at McGill University in Canada that had received interest and probably funding from the CIA (McCoy, 2006 ;Watson, 1978) . The link was made by Tim Shallice, an academic neuropsychologist in an article in the journal Cognition (Shallice, 1974) , but the use of the techniques and their consequences was made known through the BSSRS pamphlet and subsequently through other publications (Ackroyd, Margolis, Rosenhead, & Shallice, 1977 , by the group that produced the BSSRS pamphlet; McGuffin, 1974 , a book that was banned by the British government). The techniques, although later banned by the British government were nevertheless to be used elsewhere, most recently at US occupied Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib (Harper, 2004 ;McCoy;Physicians for Human Rights, 2005) , despite their censure by mainstream medical opinion (Rubinstein, Pross, Davidoff, & Iacopino, 2005) and by the United Nations (United Nations, 1985) .…”

The book editors, Maritza Montero and Christopher Sonn, have done a masterful job, making liberation psychology accessible to a wide audience while maintaining a scholarly focus throughout.It is fitting that liberation psychology is center stage in the Peace Psychology Book Series because peace psychologists recognize that the sustainability of peaceful discourses and actions rests upon the continuous crafting of structures and institutions that are responsive to people's desire for voice and representation in matters that affect their well-being. Hence, the social justice agenda of liberation psychology is at the core of peace psychology.The pursuit of social justice has not always been central to peace psychology. North American psychologists began to organize and identify themselves as "peace psychologists" in the 1980s during the Cold War. The Cold War featured a global power struggle and nuclear arms race between the United States and Soviet Union. A culture of fear pervaded and the problem of social justice was given short shrift in light of what seemed to be the preeminent concern of peace psychologists, namely, the prevention of nuclear war and the promotion of conflict management.With the decline of the Cold War and the perceived diminution of the nuclear threat, security concerns were no longer organized around the US-Soviet relationship. Instead, Western peace psychologists turned their attention to ethnopolitical conflicts and, more broadly, the problem of intergroup conflict worldwide. Unlike the Cold War conflict, which invited analyses at the level of elite rhetoric and actions, the complexity of ethnopolitical conflicts required geohistorical considerations that embedded violent episodes in structural and cultural conditions. Clearly, a history of structural violence, marked by oppression and exploitation, was seen as a precondition for violent episodes in many parts of the world.Besides having a concern about the roots of violent episodes, peace psychologists and liberation psychologists share the view that structural violence in itself is problematic not least because it kills people just as surely as direct episodes of violence. What differs is the means, with structural violence representing a perni...
