THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER America is suffering from PTSD. The
Reckoning diagnoses its core causes and helps begin the healing
process. For four years, Donald J Trump inflicted an onslaught of
overlapping and interconnected traumas upon the American people,
targeting anyone he perceived as being an 'other' or an enemy.
Women were discounted and derided, the sick were dismissed as weak
and unworthy of help, immigrants and minorities were demonised and
discriminated against and money was elevated above all else. In
short, he transformed America into a macro version of his
malignantly dysfunctional family. How can Americans make sense of
the degree to which their institutions and leaders have let them
down? How can they negotiate a world in which all sense of safety
and justice seems to have been destroyed? How can they - as
individuals and as a nation - confront, process and overcome this
loss of trust and the ways they have been forever altered by chaos,
division and cruelty? And when the dust finally settles, how can
they begin to heal, in the midst of ongoing health and economic
crises and the greatest political divide since the Civil War? Mary
L Trump is uniquely positioned to answer these difficult questions.
She holds a PhD in clinical psychology specialising in trauma, has
herself been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and
happens to be Donald J Trump's only niece. In The Reckoning, she
applies her unique expertise to the task of helping Americans
confront an all-encompassing trauma, one that has taken an immense
toll on their nation's health and well-being. A new leader alone
cannot fix the situation. Donald J Trump is only the latest symptom
of a disease that has existed within the body politic since
America's inception - from the original sin of slavery through its
population's unceasing, organised commitment to inequality. An
enormous amount of healing must be done to rebuild the lives of
Americans, their faith in leadership and their hope for their
nation. It starts with The Reckoning.
