The spiral of fear was halted briefly. Frequently in this mechanism, the victim has little or nothing to do with the initial conflict itself. But in the case of Jesus, the victim is not only wholly innocent; he is the embodiment of a grace or mercy that could in principle change the whole frame of reference that traps people in rivalry and mutual terror. Thus the scapegoat mechanism is exposed for what it is — an arbitrary release of tension that makes no difference to the underlying problem.
And if you want to address the underlying problem, perhaps you should start listening to the victim. For many of our contemporaries, the Christian message is either a matter of unwelcome moral nagging or a set of appealing but finally irrelevant legends. But what if the Christian story offered more than this?
What if it proposed a way of understanding some of the most pervasive and dangerous mechanisms in human relationships, interpersonal or international? Look at any major conflict in the world at the moment and the mechanism is clear enough. Two fragile and intensely quarrelsome societies in the Holy Land find some security in at least knowing that there is an enemy they can all hate on the other side of the wall.
A crumbling dictatorship in Zimbabwe steps up the rhetoric of loathing and resentment towards the colonial powers that create the poverty and the shortages. Nearer home, disadvantaged communities make sense of their situation by blaming migrants and asylum seekers. It breeds a mentality that always seeks to mirror the one who is threatening you.
Worst of all, it gives a fragile society an interest in keeping some sort of external conflict going. Consciously or not, political leaders in a variety of contexts are reluctant to let go of an enemy who has become indispensable to their own stability. The claim of Christianity is both that this mechanism is universal, ingrained in how we learn to behave as human beings and that it is capable of changing.
It changes when we recognise our complicity and when we listen to what the unique divine scapegoat says: People may or may not grasp what is meant by the resolution that the Christian message offers. But at least it is possible that they will see the entire scheme as a structure within which they — we — can understand some of what most lethally imprisons us in our relationships, individual and collective. We may acquire a crucial tool for exposing the evasions on which our lives and our political systems are so often built. Yes, the Christian church has been guilty of colossal evasion, colluding in just those scapegoating mechanisms it exists to overcome.
Its shameful record of anti-semitism is the most dramatic reversal of the genuine story it has to tell, the most dramatic example of claiming that the killing of Jesus was indeed about them and not us. But it keeps alive that story. The crowd turned on them as the origin and cause of their problems. They became the scapegoat.
Consequently, the tribe felt cleansed. The violence unleashed a feeling of power and freedom. As the evil was purged, thrill surged. Life could continue and the tribe could prosper. Until, of course, another crisis developed—and at that point another victim would be needed. Because of the regularity of the crises, religions developed the ritual of regular sacrifice. Victims were found, throats were cut, blood was shed, and if animals were substituted, it did not mitigate the truth that the society still ran on the blood-fuel of the victim.
This may seem terribly primitive in a modern age, until one see videos of ISIS soldiers ritually beheading their victims. Modern Americans may think they are far removed from the barbarities of the Aztecs until they view a video of a wine-sipping high priestess of the cult of abortion describing how she dismembers children and harvests their organs. Is this so far removed from the haruspication of the ancients? Girard points out that Jesus of Nazareth turned the model on its head. He does so first by valuing the victim.
The poor, the outcast, the crippled, diseased, blind, and demon-possessed are his prizes. He treasures children and magnifies women. He turns the sacrificial system upside down not only by valuing the victim, but by becoming the victim. He defeats the sacrificial system by embracing it. He breaks it from the inside. For the last two thousand years, the world has been learning that the victim is the hero. The problem is that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Being a victim is fashionable—ironically, becoming bullied is now the best way to bully others.
It works like this: If you want to move forward in the world, make progress for you and your tribe, further your ambitions, justify your immoral actions, grab a bigger piece of the pie, and elbow others away from the trough, simply present yourself and your tribe as victims. Once you successfully portray yourselves as a poor, outcast, persecuted, minority group you instantly gain the sympathy of all. The first key to success in this campaign is to portray your victim condition as something over which you have no control. This is clear when the victim group is a racial or ethnic minority.
The same sense of unjust destiny has to be produced for other groups. So the feminists have exploited the technique to portray all women as downtrodden. Homosexual campaigners have likewise insisted that their condition is something they were born with, and now anyone with a sexual proclivity that is other than heterosexual can be portrayed as a misunderstood and persecuted victim. People suffering from any kind of illness, disability, or misfortune are victims of some sort of injustice, cruelty, or neglect. Those who suffer from poverty, addiction, broken families, psychological problems, emotional distress, or just plain unhappiness are victims too.
The victim mentality is linked with an entitlement culture: Someone must be culpable for the unhappiness of the victims because someone should be responsible for making them happy. The second step in effective victim-campaigning is to accumulate and disseminate the propaganda.
Academic papers must be written. Sociological studies must be undertaken. Groundbreaking books must be published. Stories of the particular minority group being persecuted must make front page news. The whimpers of the persecuted must rise to heaven. You must recognize the victim.
You must be sympathetic. You must be tolerant. You must join the campaign to help the victim, solve their problems, and make them happy at last. If you do not, you are not only hard-hearted, you are part of the problem. The third stage of the campaign is the release of anger. Once the victim is identified and the information is widespread, the rage can be released.
The anger must be expressed because, without knowing it, a new cycle of tribal scapegoating has developed. As the tribe gathers around the victim in sympathy, they must find the culprit, and their search for the culprit whether he is guilty or not does not matter sends them on the same frantic scapegoating quest that created their victim in the first place. The supposed persecutors have now become the persecuted. The unhappiness of the tribe which presents itself as sympathy for the victim is now focused on violence against the new victim—and so the cycle of sin and irrational rage continues.
Observe American society today. Everywhere you look we are apportioning blame and seeking scapegoats. The blacks blame the whites. The whites blame the blacks. The homosexuals blame the Christians. The Christians blame the homosexuals. The Republicans blame the immigrants. The immigrants blame the residents. The workers blame the wealthy. The wealthy blame the workers. Why has our society descended into the violence of scapegoating and blame? Because it is inevitable. The victimhood cycle will continue through cycles of revenge and further victimhood unless there is an outlet. Where is there an end to the cycle of violence and victimization?
There is only one solution: Find a constant victim—one who is the eternal victim and remains the victim. How is this done? It is done within the religion of a society. If a society has a religion of sacrifice the ritual victim becomes the focus of the tribal animus.
The ritual victim becomes the constant scapegoat. The ritual victim becomes the psychological safety valve. Catholicism, of course, is the only religion in the modern world which, astoundingly, still claims to be offering a sacrifice. This is why the ancient celebration of the Mass is still so vital in the modern world—because there the one, full, final sacrifice is re-presented for the salvation of the world.
The problem is that we are not a sacrificial and a sacramental people. We are a blandly utilitarian race—shallow, and lacking in imagination. We are uncomfortable with blood sacrifices and cannot understand the rituals of redemption. American Catholics prefer their liturgy to be a banal family meal where they sing happy songs about making the world a better place. It is no longer a sacred sacrifice or a holy mystery, but a cross between a campfire and a pep rally.
Nevertheless, when the religion in a culture offers the mysteries of sacrifice the urge to lay blame is assuaged, the cycle of blame finds its proper resolution. As anyone who reads this blog knows, I am a hardcore devotee of the ideas of Rene Girard. But those things I mentioned are big-picture concepts, and can be seen as somewhat abstract.
For Girard, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ reveals to the world the mechanism of scapegoating— a victim is selected from among the people and sacrificed in order to discharge our rivalrous, imitative desires, and that sacrifice becomes both ritualized and camouflaged so that we are unaware of our participation. Jesus, finishing a process begun at the beginning of the Hebrew Scriptures, comes to strip off the veil over our eyes, to reveal to us the truth.
Where once we held fast to the idea that the victim really deserved to be sacrificed, we now understand that the victim is innocent. Girard insists that this bell cannot be un-rung, and society can never go back to the way it was prior to Easter Sunday. But that does not mean that scapegoating is ended forever. It simply means that we as a people cannot rely on the simplistic old versions of the sacred to sustain the Big Lie.
Instead, if we want to avoid the hard work of imitating Jesus, forgiving our enemies, and learning to live in peace, we have to construct a new version of the Big Lie. But the other way is through the Cult of Victimhood. The Cult of Victimhood begins by appropriating the Intelligence of the Victim, recognizing the truth that discrete groups are often persecuted unjustly by virtue of being a discrete group, and not as a result of anything for which they are responsible.
And the Cult of Victimhood insists, correctly, that persecution of the particular discrete group at issue is unjust and should be stopped. So far, so good. But then the Cult of Victimhood turns being a victim into a status, defining itself in terms of the marker either directly or indirectly of having been through the experience of being a victim. The Cult of Victimhood is thus an inversion of the normal, pre-Christian process of the Sacred—rather than the majority forming an identity over and against some identifiable minority victim or group of victims through the process of victimization, the minority forms an identity over and against the majority by virtue of being victimized, either presently or at some point in the past.
This creates three serious problems. First, the identity of the group is tied up in the status of being a victim. Thus, perversely, there is an incentive for the minority to seek to be victimized, because it supports and reinforces the group identity, leading to counter-productive co-dependent relationships with the persecuting majority.
Or, at a minimum, the minority needs to perceive itself as being victimized in order to shore up its self-identity, leading to incentives to find persecution behind every rock or tree, even when it is not there.

The second problem is that the Cult of Victimhood is it creates a tempting platform to seize the moral high ground. In light of the message of Jesus, we have an obligation to have special moral concern for victims as victims. Being a victim does not necessarily make you wiser, or more just, or better able to discern moral realities in the world around you, because being a victim is ultimately and fundamentally arbitrary.
Once again, this is an inversion for the old vision of the Sacred—whereas before the society explained that victims became victims through some narrative of moral failure, now the victims understand their victim status through a narrative of their own moral superiority. In doing so, it sets up a purely binary, Manichean distortion of the Gospel message, dividing the world into fixed categories of victims who are righteous and victimizers who are unrighteous.
This binary system acts as a kind of moral shield for their own behavior. The logical chain goes like this: This in turn leads to the third problem. Because of the power of feature 1 and especially feature 2 of the Cult of Victimhood, everyone wants to get in on the action. And, given both the pervasive nature of scapegoating and the cultural awareness of the phenomenon even if inchoate brought about by thousands of years of Judeo-Christian presence, everyone can get in on the action if they look hard enough.
What results is an utterly intractable set of mutually incompatible victimhood narratives, in which every group is the righteous but persecuted minority over and against some nefarious overculture. Girard would insist that this is an utterly futile activity, because all of these stories of victimhood are on some level true and on some level self-serving nonsense.
And it is not true because, again, being a victim is arbitrary. Sometimes you are victimized because of some trait you happen to have like race or gender , sometimes it is because of some social group you happen to belong to that happens to be on the short end of the stick for whatever reason like LGBT folks , sometimes it is for no reason at all. The only real difference between the victim and the victimizer is circumstance. Or, to put it another way, there has only been one truly innocent victim in all of history, and He was last seen outside of Jerusalem years ago and 40 days after Easter Sunday.
People get victimized, and we have a moral obligation to try to end the victimization. But the Cult of Victimization makes that project more difficult, because it weaponizes victimization and intermixes genuine victimization with dubious claims of moral righteousness. It also incentivizes out-and-out bogus claims of victimization, because the power of victimhood status is to enticing. To see an example of the Cult of Victimhood in action, consider this piece from Andrew Sullivan about Trump.
In the piece, Sullivan makes the point that one key dimension of why white, working-class voters have rallied to Trump is the disdain shown by cultural elites mostly liberal but also conservative, to the extent those are still distinct categories toward the culture and values of said white working-class people. The reaction on social media to the piece was very telling. Instead of pushing back on the thesis i. First off, Sullivan does talk about that in the piece. Presidential election has been a heretofore unprecedented orgy of the Cult of Victimhood from all sides, and promises to become even more grotesque as we get closer to November.
To my utter shock, tabletop role-playing games are undergoing a renaissance. But it was social disfavored, and the stigma was real. For example, I kept my interests in this area mostly to myself as an adult, and kept the hobby at arms-length—I felt that people would perceive it as immature or weird. So, this should be a great time to be a tabletop RPG fan, and everyone should be happy, right? It turns out there is a deeply toxic element of the tabletop RPG culture, one that has full-throatedly embraced the Cult of Victimhood.
The basic claim is that there is a culture of sexual harassment in the hobby, directed an women in particular. Here, I will simply restate my view that mixed gendered scenarios are basically always better than single gendered ones. But the reflexive misogyny is not really about concrete experiences, but about the Cult of Victimhood. By excluding these intruders, identity is maintained—at the cost, of course, of victimizing innocent women who just want to play a game.
My point in using these two examples is not pass judgment on the validity of the victimhood claims involved though, from where I sit, the claims of victimization of racial and sexual minorities, as well as women in the RPG space, seem mostly real; the claims of male gamers seem mostly bogus; and the claims of white working class folks seem to be some combination of truth and self-serving fantasy.
The point is to talk about how the Cult of Victimhood works, and why it makes these kinds of debates so intractable. This doctrine cuts through both our self-serving claims to goodness as well as the paralyzing guilt of our wickedness. He won the white working class by an unprecedented margin, and held on to a surprising majority of college-educated whites. That allowed him to flip heavily white areas of states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that had voted for Obama.
But preliminary data suggests it is hardly all of it. And to understand this part of the story, you need to look beyond American borders. In Hungary, the increasingly authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, has started building a wall to keep out immigrants and holding migrants in detention camps where guards have been filmed flinging food at them as if they were zoo animals. And in Finland, the Finns Party — which wants to dramatically slash immigration numbers and keep out many non-Europeans — is part of the government.
Those leaders were among the first to praise the president-elect. Marine Le Pen , who runs an increasingly popular French far-right party, tweeted in elation: They share his authoritarian views on crime and justice. But most importantly, they share his deeply negative views of immigrants, his belief that Muslims are inherently dangerous, and his stated support for closing the borders to refugees and economic migrants alike. Their platforms, a right-wing radicalism somewhere between traditional conservatism and the naked racism of the Nazis and Ku Klux Klan, have attracted widespread support in countries with wildly different cultures and histories.
That conclusion is supported by an extraordinary amount of social science, from statistical analyses that examine data on how hundreds of thousands of Europeans to books on how, when, and why ethnic conflicts erupt. Drawing on social psychology, he theorized that one of the underappreciated causes of ethnic violence was a change in the legal and political status of majority and minority ethnic groups.
In his book, Understanding Ethnic Violence , Petersen argues that his theory helps explain the causes of other cases of ethnic violence in Eastern Europe, including the carnage in the Balkans in the s. Other scholars have since found that it could be used to understand communal violence elsewhere in the world.
In nations with strong and legitimate governments, the loss of status by a privileged group is extremely unlikely to produce large-scale ethnic slaughter. Like, say, elections and government policies. Ditto when the United States ended Jim Crow, allowing black people to participate as formal equals, and when it experienced a mass wave of Latino immigration.
What you saw in many of these countries was a very different kind of population moving in and occupying social roles that had previously been reserved for white Christians. This was the ultimate change in social hierarchy. His political party, the Front National FN , won about 11 percent of the French national vote in the elections to the European Parliament. It was the first major electoral victory for a party of its kind. Le Pen had founded the party 12 years earlier. It was a populist party, one that argued that ordinary people were being exploited by a corrupt class of cosmopolitan elites.
They were also authoritarian , constantly warning of the dangers of crime and the need for a harsh state response. But above all else, the FN was xenophobic. Its members believed the postwar wave of immigrants threatened the French nation itself; stopping more from coming in was the only thing that could save the country from being overrun. In , a Dutch sociology professor named Pim Fortuyn launched a new political movement — oriented entirely around opposition to Muslim immigration. Fortuyn was assassinated by a far-left activist that year but was succeeded by another charismatic populist, Geert Wilders.
There are many others examples. Recent polling shows her near the top in the presidential election. The rise of these parties has been studied extensively — and the evidence is quite conclusive. In a paper , she looked at data on vote shares for seven European far-right parties, to try to figure out why people voted for them.
You can see this in the following chart from her paper. The Y-axis is the probability of voting for a far-right party; the X-axis is the level of support for restrictive immigration policies, right-wing economic views, and the like. The difference between immigration policy preferences and the others is striking:. Eight years later, after running tests on newer data for a forthcoming paper, Ivarsflaten believes the thesis still holds. Norris and Inglehart looked at 12 years of European Social Survey data, surveying a whopping , respondents, to figure out the relationship between economic and cultural grievances and support for the European far right.
They found something startling: Instead, it was from exactly the kind of people who voted for Donald Trump in the election. Only one of the five economic variables they tested — employment status — correlated well with support for the populist right. That held true even when they controlled for variables like age, sex, ethnic identity, and minority status. Then they set up an alternative model, one that tested whether five distinct cultural factors — like anti-immigrant attitudes and authoritarian values — would predict support for the far right.
Every single one did. There was no good evidence that economic anxiety was driving cultural resentment. He ran on an Americanized version of the European far-right platform. Like his European counterparts, Trump has eschewed overt discussion of racial superiority during his campaign.
Trump first became a major political figure as leader of the birther movement — the people who questioned whether Barack Obama was really a natural-born US citizen — in , taking advantage of racial anxieties about a black president to turn himself into a GOP power broker. He deployed classic anti-Semitic rhetoric , warning of dark international banking conspiracies rigging the system against ordinary Americans.
Data from the primary shows that this kind of rhetoric was absolutely critical to his appeal. Over the summer, Michael Tesler, a professor at the University of California Irvine, took a look at racial resentment scores among Republican primary voters in the past three GOP primaries. In and , Tesler found , Republican voters who scored higher were less likely to vote for the eventual winner. With Trump, the opposite was the case.
The more a person saw black people as lazy and undeserving, the more likely they were to vote for the self-proclaimed billionaire. Tesler found similar effects on measures of anti-Hispanic and anti-Muslim prejudice. But we do have enough evidence to say that white resentment played a major role in fueling his support, even among the general population. Because the GOP nominee fit the mold of the European far right, rather than a traditional Republican, he was uniquely positioned to take advantage of racial anxieties produced by eight years of a black president and decades of mass Latino immigration.
Instead, his research found that the leading driver was party identification, followed closely by racial resentment. People who were racially resentful were more likely to support Trump regardless of their views of the economy. Someone who was not very economically pessimistic but quite racially resentful was as likely to support Trump as someone who was equally resentful but much more pessimistic about the economy. Another study — whose findings were published by three researchers at Slate — took a different stab at this. They found very little differences in rates of prejudice by income.
There could end up being a bigger role for economic variables than there was in the primary, though the data about the European far-right militates against it. And it looks like he won not in spite of his racism but because of it. Et la mondialisation en est responsable. Bourguignon a la solution: Elle a, au contraire, rendu les pays encore plus riches. Oui, il existe des milliardaires. In the early s, about 80 million people — roughly 1.
The figure now is closer to million. Migration across international borders is not a simple phenomenon and migrants themselves are as diverse as people who stay put. The banker from Seattle who signs a five-year contract for a post in Berlin is a migrant; so is the lay-out editor in Paris who moves to Moscow to work on a Russian edition of her magazine; so is the labourer from Indonesia or Thailand who becomes a building worker in Brunei; so is the teenage boy from Shanghai indentured to a Chinese crime ring in New York. Refugees, too, are migrants.
Often they share their route to safety with others who are not seeking asylum: These things are largely a question of money. Refugees are not necessarily poor, but by the time they have reached safety, the human trafficking organisations on which they depend have eaten up much of their capital. In the course of excruciating journeys, mental and physiological resources are also expended — some of them non-renewable.
In the past, the states of Western Europe have shown a generous capacity to take in refugees. The response to forced movement on the Continent itself, from the s to the end of the Second World War, might fairly be seen as impressive. So might the absorption of refugees during the Cold War: But by the mids, when numbers started to rise again, states in Western Europe were reviewing their duty to provide asylum. The change was connected with the new availability of one part of the world to another — with the expansion of global access, not least as a result of airline price wars.
It occurred at a time when France, Germany, Britain and others had made up their minds that the postwar experiment with immigration from the South was over. Refugees have paid a high price for this decision.

They have also paid for the new prestige of the North American social and economic model — unrivalled now, but all the more conspicuous in its failings. The racially diverse society is a deeply troubling notion in Europe. The grinding together and shifting of peoples — the tectonic population movements that defined the European continent — were already well advanced, and largely settled, by the time the New World became a battleground between the monarchies of Europe and indigenous Americans. For Europeans, the multiracial model of the United States, founded on waves of relatively modern migration, including slave migration — the most lucrative case of human trafficking in history — is flawed.
The Right in Europe thinks of it as a triumph of capitalism for which multiculturalism has been a high price to pay. The Left thinks of it as a qualified multicultural success which can never redeem the cost of that triumph. In both views, the milling of cultures and races and the capitalist whirlwind are indissociable. Everyone pays grudging homage to the American model of cultural diversity, but European governments of all persuasions are dour about its advantages and alert to its dangers: And if governments incline to the gloomy view, so do many voters.
Europeans have different ambitions for their social fabric, bound up one way or another with a lingering faith in regulation. Yet those who call for greater control of the global markets and the movement of capital are easily derided, while the wish to restrict free access to wealthier states for people from the South and East is seen as perfectly reasonable. In practice, however, the distinction between asylum seekers and other forms of disadvantaged migrant — a distinction designed to shield the refugee from prejudicial factors such as low immigration targets in host states — has been worn away.
In Western Europe, refugees have begun to look like beggars at the gate, or even thieves. Since the s, they have lost most lawful means of access to the rich world. To governments aiming at low levels of immigration from poorer countries, asylum is an exemption that allows too many people past the barriers.
Meanwhile, thousands of migrants whose objective is a better standard of living for themselves and those they have left behind are opting for asylum as a way to outflank restrictive immigration policies. The result is an expensive game of wits being played along the frontiers of the rich world. In Europe, the field extends from the Baltic states to the straits of Algeciras, from the Aegean to the English Channel. You only have to go to Kent, or the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, or the coast of Puglia in southern Italy to watch the game unfold.
We left the harbour in Otranto just after dark, turned north and ran along the coast towards Brindisi. It was fifty foot or so, with two powerful engines which threshed up the water like a harvester, cutting a straight path visible for half a mile behind us through the rolling waters.
The moon, too, threw a line of light, brighter, narrower, scuffed at its edges by the winter swell. In and , two or three Guardia reconnaissance boats were out in the Otranto Channel at any one time, in all but the worst weathers. For most of the night, they combed the waters for boatloads of illegal immigrants from Albania. At the end of the s, the Channel became a game board on which immigrant traffickers and tobacco smugglers pitted their skills against the Guardia, but it was the immigrants — i clandestini — who caused the real dismay in Italy.
It takes about an hour for a good scafista and his partner to get their passengers across roughly 70 km of water. They are crammed aboard gommoni , or inflatable rafts, with two outboard motors. The gommoni run a gauntlet of detection and danger. But business is so profitable and, until recently, demand has been so intense, that a clear night has rarely deterred them.
From the deck of a Guardia boat you can see the game board in all its splendour. The wake of the boat and the moonlight traverse the waters like linear markers, setting the terms of the contest. As the gommoni scud across the Channel, they must keep clear of these two lines: For a time the lines run side by side, the one tracking the other, always the same inscrutable distance apart.
Then the Guardia boat alters course and five minutes later the lines cross. The first two hours of a night patrol are spent in this obscure coming and going, the lines of light converging, diverging, running parallel. As the night draws on and the moon rises, the brighter path begins to fade until there is only a diffuse, milky light covering the water, and the one line, loitering, veering, running straight again, from the back of the boat.
On the Guardia boats, below decks, radar technicians monitor the waters for movement. A regular signal marking every degree scan sounds like the blip of a heartbeat in casualty. In rough weather, the equipment picks up misleading signals. Twice, what might have been a boat turned out to be a piece of flotsam: The vessel was well off the Puglia coastline when news came through from the base in Otranto that there were four gommoni on the water, within minutes of the Italian beaches.
The lieutenant at the helm took his speed up to about 45 knots, flipping the boat over the waves. Garbled co-ordinates, crumbling with static, came through from the base radio. After a surge of movement that brought us within a kilometre of the coast, we slowed up and hung in the swell. The lieutenant produced a pair of infrared binoculars and gazed through them at the mainland. It was my first sight of illegal immigrants, tiny, pale and alien, stirring like febrile particles under a microscope. I would have seen them, I suppose, in the way we tend to see them, clambering into our world, importunate, active, invasive, always other than ourselves: Headlights moved from left to right through the trees behind the beach: It is not known how many people entered on the gommoni in the late s.
Some in the Guardia will tell you that by the middle of , there were up to 40 boats a night; others put it at 25 — which is to say, anything between and migrants attempting the passage on the coast of Puglia alone.

Bref tout ce que In the traditional spirit of experimental psychopathology, submissions from studies on non-clinical populations that make a contribution to understanding the aetiology of psychopathology will be especially welcomed. While the journal's focus is primarily on the psychological and cognitive processes associated with psychopathology, contributions studying the biological substrates of psychopathology will also be considered. Published papers can include systematic reviews, literature reviews, meta-analyses and theoretical articles that supplement or challenge existing theoretical views of psychopathology or clinical phenomena.

When this happens, your ways of coping can be stretched, your stress levels can soar, and you may have mixed and confusing emotions you deeply desire to resolve. You want to feel better and for your family life to be good. At these times, it can be helpful to talk with someone, who without judgment, or partiality, will listen and help sort the issues, process the emotions, and support your goals.

The counseling room can be your place to feel heard, validated and understood, setting your own goals for the change and the healing you hope for in your life.
