Mapping the Emotional Terrain of Peace: Palestinians and Israelis Search for Common Ground

Amal Kouttab, MA, RDT

This article describes healing the wounds of history, a six-stage model developed by psychotherapist and theater director Armand Volkas and its implementation during a workshop held during a peace conference in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in spring 2006. The foundation of this work is based on the notion that conflict is most effectively addressed through two primary processes: the mutual recognition of emotions arising from conflict and empathy building. Moving beyond traditional dialogue to mediate conflict, healing the wounds of history seeks to disarm defenses while constructing a common narrative between groups in conflict through the telling and mirroring of personal stories.

Key Words: conflict resolution • drama therapy • internalized oppression • Middle East conflict
