Examining the Theory of Historical Trauma Among Native Americans
Examining the Theory of Historical Trauma Among Native Americans The Professional Counselor Volume 3, Issue 3, Pages 117–130 http://tpcjournal.nbcc.org © 2013 NBCC, Inc. and Affiliates Kathleen Brown-Rice The theory of historical trauma was developed to explain the current problems facing many Native Americans. This theory purports that some Native Americans are experiencing historical loss symptoms (e.g., depression, substance dependence, diabetes, dysfunctional parenting, unemployment) as a result of the cross-generational transmission of trauma from historical losses (e.g., loss of population, land, and culture). However, there has been skepticism by mental health professionals about the validity of this concept. The purpose of this article is to systematically examine the theoretical underpinnings of historical trauma among Native Americans. The author seeks to add clarity to this theory to assist professional counselors in understanding how traumas that occurred decades ago continue to impact Native American clients today. Keywords: historical trauma, Native Americans, American Indian, historical losses, cross-generational trauma, historical loss symptoms Compared with all other racial groups, non-Hispanic Native American adults are at greater risk of experiencing feelings of psychological distress and more likely to have poorer overall physical and mental health and unmet medical and psychological needs (Barnes, Adams, & Powell-Griner, 2010). Suicide rates for Native American adults and youth are higher than the national average, with suicide being the second leading cause of death for Native Americans from 10–34 years of age (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2007). Given that there are approximately 566 federally recognized tribes located in 35 states, and 60% of Native Americans in the United States reside in urban areas (Indian Health Services, 2009), there is much diversity within the Native American population.

FAITH in POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television
Powell 1 1Nss1Do7n7Ei/R 0/ 8 M&91O S2DO4E3C2LI0EI3NT2GY5 9 W/1 F3Oe3bRrKuary 2004 FAITH IN POP CULTURE Religious Representation on Television JARED POWELL University of Kansas Abstract This study is concerned with the presence of religion and religious characters in contemporary popular culture, specifically which groups receive media attention and in what ways they are portrayed. After a careful review of studies in media, religion, and culture, American television is analyzed with a focus on the Fox medical drama House. Using both quantitative and qualitative data found in 155 episodes, the author argues that the world‐renowned television show implicitly holds an agnostic view on religious matters, leaving interpretation up to the audience. Despite many characters that are religious, atheist, or ambiguous about their beliefs, a sense of uncertainty and a lack of specificity appear to promote this idea. Caricaturizing specific beliefs and using them as plot devices also helps to hide religious representation in plain sight. Findings suggest that American popular culture has a tendency to target the broadest possible audience with regard to religiosity by presenting the most basic representation of various views without promoting any single standpoint. More research must be done to further the understanding of how religion is represented via worldwide media and how it is received by consumers. Powell 2 In an age of diverse religious plurality and global media popularity, a few questions must be asked: how do the realms of faith and popular culture intersect, intertwine, interact? How are those in power using our most complex and subtle cultural tools to construct images of differing worldviews? Religious institutions often serve as sources of social pedagogy, but the media does this as well ‐ with the additional power of teaching us how to think about other pedagogical forces (such as religion, philosophy, and academic institutions).
