Trauma, Trust, and Memory: Social Trauma and Reconciliation in Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, and Cultural Memory
by Andreas HamburgerTrauma is one of the most important topics discussed throughout the clinical, social and cultural field. Social traumatization, as we meet it in the aftermath of genocide, war and persecution, is targeted at whole groups and thus affects the individual's immediate holding environment, cutting it off from an important resilience factor; further on, social trauma is implemented in a societal context, thus involving the surrounding society in the traumatic process. Both conditions entail major consequences for the impact and prognosis of the resulting individual posttraumatic disorders as well as for the social and cultural consequences. The volume connects clinical and epidemiological studies on the sequelae of social trauma to reflections from social psychology and the humanities. Post-war and post-dictatorial societies are in particular marked by the effects of massive, large group traumatization, and if these are not acknowledged, explored, and mourned, the unprocessed cumulative trauma that has become deeply embedded in the collective memory leads to periodical reactivations. To address social trauma, an interdisciplinary approach is required.
Trauma, the Body and Transformation: A Narrative Inquiry
by Gillie Bolton Kim EtheringtonTrauma suffered during childhood can affect not only a person's emotional and mental health, but also their physical health, even into adulthood. This unique book fills a gap in research in this area, providing personal and theoretical perspectives on trauma and recovery.

Each author also shows the pathway they have taken towards transforming their bodies to well-being. This will be a valuable resource for those who are dealing with the impact of childhood trauma in their own lives; their families and friends whose lives are also touched; workers in the field of trauma, especially medical practitioners who can sometimes feel helpless when faced with patients whose symptoms they cannot understand or heal; and counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists.

Trauma-Informed Evangelism: Cultivating Communities of Wounded Healers
by Elaine Heath Charles Kiser&“We are at the forefront of a new reformation.&” So declares Elaine Heath in Trauma-Informed Evangelism, aiming to recover the God of love from the structures of hate that pervade Christian communities in America today. In their new guide, she and Charles Kiser work toward bringing this reformation to fruition through ministering specifically to the spiritually traumatized. Over the course of their study, Kiser and Heath amplify the voices of those who suffered misogynistic, racist, or homophobic abuse at the hands of the church. While carefully listening to these stories, Kiser and Heath bring them into conversation with the passion and resurrection of Jesus. Engaging with womanist and liberation theology, they see in the crucifixion a God who does not valorize suffering but shares the experience of the traumatized. Ultimately, this theodicy leads them to propose a new evangelism—one based not on fear and coercion but on witnessing the unconditional love of God. Timely, theologically informed, and eminently practical, Trauma-Informed Evangelism will serve as a formative guide for church leaders and students seeking to aid trauma survivors in their communities. Discussion questions conclude each chapter.

Trauma-Informed Reproductive Healthcare
by Angela Lawson Amelia SwansonPatients seeking fertility care may have experienced trauma prior to their fertility journey and often have experienced trauma as part of the fertility process itself. It is important for medical and administrative professionals that are involved in providing care to fertility patients to understand how to deliver care from a trauma-informed perspective. This is particularly important as the medical evaluation and treatment for fertility patients often involves invasive questions and procedures that can be difficult for patients with a history of trauma. While exposure to trauma has an international impact, this book is focused primarily on the research and experiences of reproductive medicine patients in the United States. It begins with a broad overview of trauma-informed care, and then goes on to focus on specific types of traumas that are likely to impact reproductive patients, including reproductive loss, sexual trauma, medical trauma, trauma perpetrated on individuals due to their sexual orientation or gender expression/identity, racial trauma or discrimination, and paramilitary trauma. The final chapters of the book are tailored to medical professionals, healthcare administrators and mental health professionals with recommendations for how to incorporate trauma-informed care for their specific role in the healthcare team. This text highlights how trauma-informed care principles apply to reproductive medicine and how trauma-informed care can support specific patient populations, such as those with a history of sexual trauma, medical trauma, reproductive loss, and patients that have experienced discrimination due to their sexual orientation, gender identity or race. Trauma-Informed Reproductive Healthcare provides specific recommendations and best practices for medical professionals and administrators in transforming their practice to be trauma-informed.
Trauma-Informed Restorative Dialogues: The Power of Community (Contemporary Issues in Restorative Practices)
by Claudia Christen-SchneiderThis book combines trauma-informed practice with restorative justice to explore how restorative dialogues can support those affected by trauma. Trauma-informed practice involves understanding the impact of trauma and creating an environment that is sensitive to its effects, which is essential for fostering meaningful dialogue between victims and offenders. Conversely, restorative justice focuses on addressing harm through inclusive processes involving victims, offenders and the community, and aims to respond to the needs of all parties affected by the harm.By integrating these perspectives, the book illustrates how trauma-informed restorative dialogues - an approach that expands access to restorative justice when direct encounters between victims and offenders are not possible - can improve access to justice, promote recovery and facilitate transformation. It provides practical guidance based on insights from victims and facilitators in five European countries and offenders in Swiss prisons, and addresses secondary trauma among practitioners, offering strategies for their self-care and organisational care.Aimed at practitioners, academics, policy makers and service providers, this in-depth research fills a gap in the restorative justice literature by demonstrating how trauma-informed principles can strengthen communities and support those affected by serious harm.
