| Summary: | "An interdisciplinary discussion of traumatic experience seeks better understanding and care for the suffering of individuals and societies When traumatic experiences occur, our patterns of living — the ways in which our bodies and minds have grown accustomed to feeling and reacting — are threatened. When psychologists, philosophers, or theologians turn their attention to trauma, they face a daunting task, as trauma is a concept that is incredibly difficult to understand and to describe. Yet it is crucial to persist; if such disciplines can offer nothing about trauma, then they betray their very purpose and those people who have been traumatized. By drawing on resources across these disciplines (and others), the contributors here struggle together to foster conversation that deepens the ability of practitioners and theoreticians alike to engage with the effects of trauma."--Publisher's website. |
