Author Information
Gabrielle Rifkind is an author and expert on human conflict, with a unique combination of credentials that spans the personal and the geopolitical. She passionately believes that our understanding of human behaviour can be applied to conflicts across the board. Her early career as a probation officer gave her a front-row seat to the human capacity for destructiveness, while her work as a group analyst, international conflict negotiator and psychotherapist has provided a deep understanding of how to heal divisions. Gabrielle has been featured extensively in the media, and her expertise in geopolitical conflict mediation has been showcased in her acclaimed TEDX Talk, 'How to Prevent - or Stop - a War.'
