  • Honoring the Truth: a Response to the Backlash
    HONORING THE TRUTH: A RESPONSE TO THE BACKLASH by ELLEN BASS and LAURA DAVIS from THE COURAGE TO HEAL: A GUIDE FOR WOMEN SURVIVORS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE THIRD EDITION, 1994 published by HarperCollins “Honoring the Truth” is a response to the current backlash against adult survivors of child sexual abuse. If you’ve watched TV, listened to the radio, or read newspapers or magazines in the past two years, it’s likely that you’ve heard about the “false memory syndrome” and have witnessed attacks on survivors’ memories and credibility. It is these attacks we are responding to here. As in the rest of The Courage to Heal, we have included the experiences of survivors as well as practical self-help information. Unlike the rest of the book, however, we also incorporate here the work of therapists, researchers, and other experts—and more than a hundred footnotes—to place this backlash in a historical and political perspective.1 A number of survivors and professionals have read “Honoring the Truth.” Most appreciated having clear information and an analysis of the issues. One survivor wrote to us, “I felt a lot of the cloudiness of the issue fall away—I felt reassured and validated.” Another said, “I am not as likely to get sucked into the fear and doubt that the backlash is trying to perpetuate.” Yet this same survivor said it had been a lot harder to read than she 1 In writing The Courage to Heal, we listened to survivors of child sexual abuse and presented what we learned in a clear, practical, and respectful way.

  • From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror Free
    FREE TRAUMA AND RECOVERY: THE AFTERMATH OF VIOLENCE--FROM DOMESTIC ABUSE TO POLITICAL TERROR PDF Judith Lewis Herman | 336 pages | 07 Jul 2015 | The Perseus Books Group | 9780465061716 | English | New York, United States Book Club: Trauma and Recovery — FaithTrust Institute Please type in your email address in order to receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password. In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A 'stunning achievement' that remains a 'classic for our generation. Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as 'one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud,' Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.

  • Trauma and Recovery Judith Lewis Herman, M.D
    Trauma and Recovery Page 1 of 13 Trauma and Recovery Judith Lewis Herman, M.D. Basic Books, 1992 To return to Psych 270's home page, click here. The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma When the truth is fully recognized, survivors can begin their recovery. But far too often, secrecy prevails and the story of the traumatic event surfaces not as a verbal narrative but as a symptom. Denial exists on a social as well as an individual level... We need to understand the past in order to reclaim the present and the future. An understanding of psychological trauma begins with rediscovery the past. The fundamental stages of recovery are: 1. Establishing safety 2. Reconstructing the traumatic story 3. Restoring the connection between the survivor and his/her community. It is very tempting to take the side of the perpetrator. All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear, and speak no evil. The victim ask the bystander to share the burden of the pain. The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering. (A tendency to render the victim invisible; to look the other way.) Freud's investigations led the furthest of all into the unrecognized reality of women's lives. His discovery of childhood sexual exploitation at the roots of hysteria crossed the outer limits of social credibility and brought him to a position of total ostracism within his profession. (He eventfully repudiated his own findings.) Traumatic Neurosis of War The soldier who developed a traumatic neurosis was at best a constitutionally inferior human being, at worst, a malingerer and a coward.

  • Introduction Mariko Hori Tanaka, Yoshiki Tajiri and Michiko Tsushima, with Robert Eaglestone
    Introduction Mariko Hori Tanaka, Yoshiki Tajiri and Michiko Tsushima, with Robert Eaglestone Roger Luckhurst argues that the modern concept of trauma developed in the West through the interlocking areas of ‘law, psychiatry and industrialized warfare’ (2008: 19). However, over the twentieth century, trauma as a concept became increasingly medicalised and simultaneously significantly linked with wider political frameworks: with survivor and testimony narratives, with responses to persecution and prejudice, to the Holocaust, and other acts of mass atrocity and genocide. In such discourses, the concept of trauma is not fully material or bodily, nor simply psychic, nor fully cultural, nor simply historical or structural, but a meeting of all of these. As Luckhurst usefully suggests, it is pre- cisely because it is a knot, or a point of intersection, of turbulence, that ‘trauma’ is such a powerful force and is impossible to define easily. In terms of its growth in literary studies, the study of trauma and trauma theory also has a range of antecedents. As Kerwin Lee Klein from the discipline of history demonstrates, there was a turn to ‘memory’ in the 1980s, in part stimulated by the work of Pierre Nora and David P. Jordan (2009) and Yosef Yerushalmi’s influ- ential book Zakhor: Jewish History and Jewish Memory (1982). Michel Foucault, too, invoked a politics of memory and, tracing this out, Ian Hacking explored what he named ‘memoro-politics’. This turn to memory involved a rediscovery and translation of Maurice Halbwachs’s work from the 1920s on collective memory (Halbwachs was murdered at Buchenwald in 1945). This shift in 2 Samuel Beckett and trauma historical discourse seems not only to align much in that field with similar questions about representation, politics and ethics and historical understanding in literary and cultural studies, but also to raise questions about trauma.

  • The Examination of Pathological Symptom of Trauma in the Context of Jamaica Kincaid’S Novel, “Lucy”
    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.10 (2021), 1025- 1033 Research Article The Examination of Pathological Symptom of Trauma in the Context of Jamaica Kincaid’s novel, “Lucy” a Mia Kim a Associate Professor, Jeonju university, Superstar College, Jeonju, South Korea Article History: Received: 10 January 2021; Revised: 12 February 2021; Accepted: 27 March 2021; Published online: 28 April 2021 Abstract: Jamaica Kincaid was thewriter who tried hard to embrace the unique and unavoidable traumatic aspects of people who have lived their life in helpless and passive.When it is looked in the category of social and political senses, these negative tendencies are clearly appeared in the third world people or black people, who had a very unstable and immigrant life under colonization or slavery. Bothe of them show some traumatic symptoms which are the psychological occurrence appearing on the people who had suffered from social, cultural and political oppression of society. Confused political and social structure or fearful disaster of nature causes the phenomenon. It never easily disappearsby any unceasing effort. Once trauma is formed, it recurs repetitively and intermittently. Its unexpected intervention of their life prevents them keeping their life normal and their identity. In the novel『Lucy』, Kincaid embodied these pathological symptoms through Lucy’s life journey based on her diverse experiences in new land. With the adaptation of Herman Judith Lewis’s theory, this study will examine the fundamental reason of trauma dominating the social and politicalscheme based on Jamaica Kincaid’s novel, “Lucy”. For this research, it will analyze the symbolic objects stimulating Lucy’s trauma in the structure of society.
