Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-08 00:00:00 Andrew Fulton I am still processing much of the material from this book for discussion groups with the Patience Grace Pathway to Peace process which I run in workshop or individual counselling sessions. Although this process is mainly based on bullying issues in schools and community groups at the moment, it may also be used for couple counselling, sibling issues, and a variety of other concerns in work or community environments. I interviewed Dorothy Rowe by phone many years ago when I first reviewed one of her books for a magazine I edited for writing groups in institutional settings. She continues to be full of rich insights, broad connections, and practical approaches for the full gamut of human interactions. I feel well supported to be able to reference her work so extensively in the various sessions I run.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-22 00:00:00 Ted Bence Using examples from Northern Ireland, the Middle East, South Africa, the former Yugoslavia, etc, the author looks at what defines a group, how enemies of the group are created and what is needed for the reconciliation process. She also deals with relationships between individuals, drawing heavily on her own life experience and work as a psychologist for her conclusions. There were times when I felt that this lead to bias in her thinking, but overall I found this an excellent book.
