The Influence of the Socio-Cultural Environment and Personality on Attitudes towards Civil Human Rights

Chapter 8 critically analyses the relationship between landscape and human rights, particularly the normative developments made at the universal level. Given the increasing assertion of a ‘right to landscape’, the exact nature of the relationship between landscape and human rights merits further scrutiny. In addition, human rights mechanisms are increasingly being used as a means for indirectly protecting the natural and cultural environment. This is due, in part, to the absence of other judicial fora for challenging governmental decisions affecting public spaces. The chapter attempts to define the substance of landscape-related rights, first by analysing the content and scope of cultural rights, and second, by exploring the rights associated with environmental protection.

Different Levels

Oppression can occur in the family, school workplace and cultural environment, and in the discourses of psychiatry and psychotherapy as well as under overtly repressive political regimes. Therapy with survivors of torture and organized violence is not a special case of therapy in a political context, nor of the need for politicized therapy. It is rather an example where these issues are writ large and where the place of psychotherapy in a general struggle for collective civilization, personal liberation and human rights can be given a particularly sharp focus. Group analysis provides a particularly valuable approach because it recognizes the dialectic between individual and group, and the resonance between different levels of context.
