Description

Trauma, Trust, and Memory explores the complex relationships between social trauma, trust, and memory in various fields. This interdisciplinary volume examines the impact of social traumatization on individuals and society, drawing connections between clinical studies, epidemiological research, and reflections from social psychology and the humanities. The book focuses on post-war and post-dictatorial societies, where massive group traumatization can have lasting effects if not acknowledged and addressed. The authors argue that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to understand and address social trauma, which can lead to unprocessed cumulative trauma embedded in collective memory, resulting in periodic reactivations. By bringing together diverse perspectives, Trauma, Trust, and Memory provides a nuanced understanding of the consequences of social trauma and the importance of reconciliation.
