Trauma and healing. The consequences of violence from Abuez to political terror. Herman J.

“Trauma and healing” is a fundamental text about the understanding of people who survived psychological trauma. Placing individual experience in a wider political framework, a psychiatrist from Harvard Judith German claims that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Based on their own study of violence against children, as well as extensive literature on veterans of military operations and victims of political terror, it shows amazing parallels between private horrors, such as cruel treatment of children, and public horrors such as war.
