Andra Medea
Andra Medea (born 1953) is an American writer and a project developer and theorist on issues of conflict and violence, specifically crisis prevention. She first came to prominence in 1974 when, with writer Kathleen Thompson, she wrote ''Against Rape'' (
Farrar, Straus, 1974), the book that broke the silence on rape internationally. She later founded Chimera, Inc., which for more than twenty years taught self-defense classes for women based on Medea's early theories of conflict. In the early 2000s, she developed Medea's Conflict Continuum, which she built upon in two books, "Conflict Unraveled" (
Pivot Point Press, 2005) and "Going Home Without Going Crazy" (
New Harbinger, 2006) and a number of courses, both online and on video, for veterans, lawyers, judges, psychiatric staff and others. Her video "Working with Emotional Clients: The Virtual Tranquilizer for Lawyers" (
American Bar Association, 2010) has been a best-selling continuing education program for the ABA. More recently, she developed this work on the continuum even further in "Safe Within These Walls: De-escalating School Situations Before They Become Crises" (
Capstone, 2013).
