از بین بردن خشونت مردسالاری از طریق تحولات توسعه

Violent forms of masculinity have profound and negative influences upon child development, social institutions, and the cultural environment at large. Childhood abuse, domestic violence, crime, imprisonment, and domination in all its appearances are closely linked to violent acts committed by men or in the name of masculinity. In addition to treating victims of such violence, health professionals must develop effective means of treating the perpetrators of violence. Therefore, the creative arts therapies must articulate conceptual and methodological strategies toward this end, based presumably on the antithetical relationship between art and play, on the one hand, and violence and hatred, on the other.
