People do great wrongs to each other all the time, sometimes
deliberately, sometimes accidentally. Many within the fields of
mental health are centrally involved in helping people to heal from
traumatic events and to come to terms with wrongs done to them by
others. However, there is surprisingly little in the way of
guidance, few texts that situate healing from trauma or evildoing
within a combined political and philosophical context. This book
looks at how people, communities, and nations can address great
wrongs and how they can heal from them - taking into consideration
how differences in cultures, histories, and group expectations
affect the possibilities for healing. The book examines the merits
of forgiveness and reconciliation in the context of civic and
interpersonal relationships - looking at the role of the law
compared to extra-legal and therapeutic approaches to individual
and collective, personal and social, healing. Topics include
gendered norms for forgiveness, the role of narrative in contrast
to a search for truth when conflicts arise, and an analysis of the
conception of truth that undergirds truth and reconciliation
commissions. Some chapters also look at how healing can occur when
power imbalances exist, how to understand and address evil,
genocide, and war. Finally, the book examines the importance of
relational models of human interaction to thinking about trauma and
healing, and how aboriginal models for healing can contribute to
our understanding of trauma and forgiveness. Throughout, each
contributor considers the psychological toll of trauma on both
victims and perpetrators of wrongdoing and critically inquires into
value systems that enhance or inhibit healing. Several authors draw
on real-life cases to support their arguments, and others provide a
rich theoretical framework within which readers can think through
various approaches and models in a critical manner. This highly
original and thought-provoking collection of articles by authors in
psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, and theology is unique in its
emphasis on systems of oppression that intersect with anguish and
moral uncertainty.
