This book explores vulnerability in many forms and among diverse understudied vulnerable populations worldwide from different perspectives, particularly from non-western contexts. It examines characteristics and profiles of vulnerable populations, intervention strategies, and recommendations for public policy actions in developing and emerging countries. As the world becomes increasingly connected and localities become more diverse, researchers and practitioners working to ameliorate human suffering cannot rely on one-size-fits-all solutions, especially when it comes to the most vulnerable members of society. The book argues the need for interdisciplinary research and action, and it challenges popular discourse on vulnerable groups and intervention strategies in Western societies and developed countries. In particular, it includes a Latin American perspective seldom considered in research about vulnerability worldwide. With interdisciplinary contributors from four continents, working in diverse fields such as social psychology, pedagogy, community psychology, medicine, sociology, clinical psychology, anthropology, and social work, this edited collection brings together theoretical and applied research evidence on three vulnerable population categories: physical vulnerability, psychological vulnerability, and social vulnerability. The book not only presents exhaustive solutions to any of the problems discussed therein, but it also offers examples of the considerations that should be afforded when working with groups who have unique vulnerabilities. ©The authors ©Springer

“I’m OK, You’re OK” Philosophy: Promoting a Culture of Respect, Equity, Justice, and Peace Through Assertiveness—An Introduction
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Castaños-Cervantes Susana

Assertiveness is a human right essential for belonging and cultivating a culture of peace, equity, justice, and respect. Its importance lies in fostering culturally appropriate interactions and in the ability to express clearly, confidently, and respectfully personal needs, opinions, desires, and emotions while considering and respecting the rights and perspectives of others. It is a valuable tool since it contributes to improving, among other aspects, interpersonal relationships, quality of care, work efficiency and productivity, teamwork, psychosocial well-being, and health outcomes. This chapter qualitatively analyses assertiveness as a human right and as the fundamental factor for intercultural competencies, which, in turn, help establish diverse and inclusive societies. As a result, peace, justice, and equity are settled amongst communities, and a culture of belonging, enrichment, and thriving is cultivated. It examines how education paves the way for communicating, behaving assertively, and exercising the human right to be assertive. Thus, education provides the foundation for learning to live together through assertiveness. Finally, this chapter synthesises and analyses the book to give a general overview of its content. This book will pave the way for future research on assertive rights. It will encourage studies of assertiveness as a human right and as a way of promoting a culture of respect, justice, and peace within diverse, inclusive, and culturally competent societies. ©The authors ©Springer.
