An international look at the similarities and differences of
long-lasting trauma Trauma and Dissociation in a Cross-Cultural
Perspective examines the psychological, sociological, political,
economic, and cultural aspects of trauma and its consequences on
people around the world. Dispelling the myth that trauma-related
dissociative disorders are a North American phenomenon, this unique
book travels through more than a dozen countries to analyze the
effects of long-lasting traumatization-both natural and man-made-on
adults and children. Working from theoretical and clinical
perspectives, the field's leading experts address trauma in
situations that range from the psychological effects of the
Troubles in Northern Ireland to the emergence of Hikikomori, the
phenomenon of social withdrawal in Japanese youth. Reactions to
trauma can be both unique according to a person's culture and
similar to the experiences of others around the world.
Dissociation, intense grief, anger, and survivor's guilt are common
responses as people split off mentally, physically, and emotionally
from the source of the trauma, whether it's an act of nature
(tsunami, earthquake, flood, etc.) or the trauma created by
violence, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, assault,
confinement, kidnapping, and war. Trauma and Dissociation in a
Cross-Cultural Perspective examines the efforts of clinicians and
researchers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America,
Australia, and New Zealand to develop sociopsychological methods of
providing counseling to people who are suffering physically,
emotionally and spiritually, training for professionals counted on
to dispense that counseling, and economic and political solutions
that might help to limit the devastating effects of natural
disasters. Trauma and Dissociation in a Cross-Cultural Perspective
examines: the tensions between the National Health Service and the
private sector in the United Kingdom how the Mandarin version of
the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) is used in China Djinnai,
a culture-bound syndrome and possession trance disorder found in
Iran how colonialism has transmitted trauma to the Maori people of
New Zealand transgenerational trauma in Turkey religious rituals
and spirit possession in the Philippines memory wars in Israel
traumatic syndromes among the French differences in dissociative
experiences among Chinese and Japanese youth childhood trauma in
Argentina and much more Trauma and Dissociation in a Cross-Cultural
Perspective is an enlightening professional resource for anyone
working in psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy.
