This book describes the diverse manifestations of trauma and the
ways in which trauma has shaped-and dismantled-our culture. Yochai
Ataria describes how we are addicted to trauma and have become both
its avid producers and consumers. Consequently, the culture in
which we live has become posttraumatic in the deepest sense. This
is apparent in the products that have shaped and continue to shape
Western culture, ranging from the biblical sacrifice of Isaac to
Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Ataria exposes the primary
attributes of this so-called posttraumatic culture: sacrifice
through action, an uncontrolled lust for blood, an inability to
speak and describe things in words, a sense of foulness and
alienation, emotional death, imperviousness, separation, and an
overwhelming sense of exile.
