Causes of Horrific Violence

The fine folks at HealthyPlace.com invited me to write a brief article on a mental health topic of my choosing.  After reflecting on the incident in Newtown and my experiences over 21 years I provided one concerning the cultural and societal underpinnings of violence.  I have grown weary of simplistic solutions to a very complex problem, so the article is the result of an attempt to take a deeper look.  You can find the article here.

By the way, HealthyPlace.com is a wonderful site, full of information and support for mental health consumers and all that support them.  Visit the site some time soon and enjoy.
