Dissociative disorders are one of the psychiatric consequences of
childhood psychological trauma. While oppression is an aspect of
traumatic conditions, dissociation undermines resistance to
oppression throughout a person's lifespan. Neither oppression nor
dissociation are restricted to particular cultures, and both can
affect the individual as well as societies. This collection engages
with the universality of dissociative disorders and their close
relationship to oppression. The chapters cover extreme examples
such as ongoing incest in adulthood, children and adults forced to
kill others, and abusive states in interrogation. Further subjects
examined include the utilization of dissociation in postmodern
societies to maintain oppression, the oppressive conditions of
asylum seekers and the consequences of oppression as they are dealt
with in psychotherapy. The final chapter considers how a paedophile
pandering network employed multi-layered oppression to prevent the
public becoming aware of the widespread and organised abuse of
children. This book will engender interactions between trauma
investigators - those whose approach is close clinical observation,
those who use instruments to survey groups of individuals, those
whose research takes the form of investigative journalism, and
those who examine the truth embedded or hidden in documents created
for multiple, and at times, disturbing political purposes. Portions
of this book were originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Trauma & Dissociation. It also includes material
from other sources.
