AiKiDô (eBook, PDF)

The Trinity of Conflict Transformation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this volume, nine renowned experts delineate their theoretical or methodological approach of Aikidô in potentiating constructive handling of social conflicts. The authors depict the contribution of the Japanese self-defensive art Aikidô to the theory and practice of conflict transformation. The concept of Elicitive Conflict Transformation (Lederach, Dietrich) necessarily calls for a revised understanding of applied peace work and a new personal profile of the conflict worker. This is the point where Aikidô and conflict/peace work meet.

Rezensionen

"AiKiDô could be a valuable addition to the tool box for psychologists who are interested in expanding their repertoire of conflict management skills. With the current scarcity of research on aikido and its effects in an era of evidence-based approaches, the guidelines and methods provided in this book could be valuable resources for researchers and practitioners of aikido who may want to strengthen the evidence on the contribution of aikido to psychology."
