THE ORIGINS OF PEACE AND VIOLENCE Deprivation of Physical Affection as a Main Cause of Depression, Aggression and Drug Abuse |
| INTRODUCTION | HISTORY | ARCHIVE | LINKS |
James W. Prescott's S-SAD (Somato-Sensory Affectional Deprivation) theory on the origins of violence was first presented to a broader public in The Futurist, April 1975: "Body Pleasure and the Origins Of Violence". Follow this link to read the full text of the article now. Another more recent article by Dr. Prescott presents his work and research comprehensively. It was published in the Pre- and Perinatal Psychology Journal, Volume 10, Number 3, 1996: The Origins of Human Love and Violence. Both texts are highly recommended. You can find more articles in the Archive section of this site.

- The obstruction, cancellation, and cover-up of the research
Note: The abbreviation SAD for Somato-Sensory Deprivation has recently been changed into S-SAD in order to avoid confusion with the term Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which first appeared in 1988, long after the publication of Dr. Prescott's SAD theory. You may therefore still encounter the term SAD in some of Dr. Prescott's articles, which have not been changed in order to maintain source authenticity.
