Aug 2025: Opinion: Letters, Aug. 8

Further to John Wiens’ opinion piece (School violence has its roots in society, Aug. 6) addressing the issue of the roots of violence in schools, are the issues of the causes of violence and how they can be effectively addressed. I have my own understandings of psychological and habits of mind factors and also of how we respond to violence, at home, in schools and in the community at large. But more importantly, I believe it would be useful for the psychology and psychiatric communities to weigh in.
