His undergraduate degree is from Hebrew University and his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology is from the University of Texas, Austin.

This well-written, well-organized book looks beyond the political barriers to peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Salinas argues that to truly understand and overcome the obstacles leading to a possible permanent solution one must take into account the social and psychological factors that are central to the conflict and its resolution: (1) stereotypes and prejudices, (2) extremism, (3) trauma, and (4) reconciliation. After a brief historical introduction, he devotes a chapter to each of these factors….Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
