Alex Meixner, senior advisor for the group Save Darfur, said the program's greatest value, "would be its ability to either help in the prevention process before an emerging crisis can become a full-blown genocide, or help in the transitional period post-genocide, when most of the fighting stops but the other affects are still present."

WORCESTER — A new doctoral program at a Massachusetts university looks at the psychology behind genocide.

Clark University in Worcester says the program is the first of its kind in the world. It's part of the school's Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

The first candidate in the Psychology of Genocide program is Cristina Andriani, a clinical psychologist who has counseled trauma victims. She says research on genocide has often lacked a psychological backing.

Organizations devoted to preventing genocide believe the program could be useful. The Washington-based Enough Project says the government does psychological profiles on potential terrorists and it would be equally important to profile those who might go to the length of committing genocide.
