Abstract
The following paper is presented from a transnational, clinical psychological perspective, which acknowledges that its concepts and views are primarily based on a Western scientific and political background. At the same time, it aspires to provide, as much as possible, a view from inside Jordanian society, based on the twelve year life experience and professional practice of the author in Jordan as a clinical psychologist, researcher, trainer, and policy advisor, in addition to reference to local research data.
