In The Peace Prescription, Dr. Marshall makes use of his extensive experience working with patients with substance abuse and relationship issues, so that they could adopt belief modifications to get behavior changes that made their lives better. Marshall tells how, based on belief and behavior problems, wars have raged throughout human history, including current wars that have already killed close to 6 million people. Political leaders, governments, and international organizations have proven that they cannot prevent violence and wars without meaningful grass-roots involvement. Dr. Marshall presents five steps aimed at controlling the pathological behavior of starting violence and war. People everywhere can participate in helping take those steps. The idea is to use the management of violent behavior, before it occurs, as a kind of global immunization process. Two examples of the needed steps are: Managing bullies at an early age, and making it illegal - as a public safety issue - to seriously advocate violence or war. The Peace Prescription tells how we can go from constant violence and wars, to a generally peaceful environment.
