The Icelandic Horn: Introducing Culture into Our Discussion of Violence
Interpersonal violence and aggression is found, to varying degrees, in every culture. However, there are rather dramatic behavioral and value-laden differences in cultures that tend to be more violent. This training will explore universal human tendencies related to violence, factors related to cultures that are more violent and discuss practical ideas for how to implement this information in interventions with people with histories of violence.
- Understand universal human tendencies related to aggression and violence.
- Understand culturally significant attitudes and values within violent cultures, including the United States.
- Discuss means of opening conversations with clients with histories of violence.
