PTSD, Teen Violence, Suicide, Domestic Violence, Victimhood

PTSD ~ Teen Violence ~ Suicide ~ Domestic Violence ~ Victimhood

By Dr. Ofer Zur

This page addresses some of the most important issues facing our teenagers at this time, issues of cyberbullying, suicide, PTSD, Internet gaming addiction, violence in the media, and much more. To read an article where I discuss relevant topics see: MAJOR ISSUES FACING TEENAGERS: Teen suicide, teen violence, cyberbullying (online bullying), Internet & online addiction, teens and sex, teens and substance abuse, teen anorexia and eating disorders, violent video games, teans watching porn, TV violence, violence at home, & violent culture.

This page also addresses the controversial topic of the Psychology of Victims and raises the rarely-discussed question of responsibility. We live in a nation of victims where different groups endlessly compete for the status of victim, and where hurt feelings, anger, disappointmentism and resentments are readily diagnosed as mental disorders, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

You will also find resources on the tragic (but painfully prevalent) dynamic of domestic violence and articles on the Psychology of Peace & War.
