Responds to an article by Jerrold M. Post, "Differentiating the Threat of Chemical and Biological Terrorism: Motivations and Constraints" (2002), arguing that his meaning & categorization of terrorism, similar to the global mass media cultural-bounded representations, are incomplete unless US actions are included. US-legitimized violent acts, such as its war on terrorism, create terror among civilian populations. Its domination of the global community supports the material inequalities & cultural domination that create suffering in large populations. The US & Israel have both supported the very freedom-fighting groups that now oppose them through terrorist acts. The media supports US actions while portraying Muslims & Arabs as evil & encouraging their radicalization. 28 References. L. A. Hoffman

The manner in which a particular theoretical approach (the holistic, developmental, systems-oriented perspective) operates to integrate environmental psychology with other subfields of psychology-including clinical, developmental, health, organizational, personality, and social-is described. This serves to advance these and other subfields of psychology and to mitigate the ongoing fragmentation in psychology. Integration is evident in the implications of the assumptions of the perspective for empirical studies, originating largely as theoretical and practical problems for environmental psychology, that have impact on and are of interest to a variety of subfields of psychology.
