Trauma and Uprooting

Více o knize

Focusing on the psychological effects of violence from 1914 to 2014, the book explores the trauma experienced by individuals uprooted by conflict, culminating in contemporary crises like the ISIS attacks. It highlights the historical ignorance surrounding PTSD until the late 1970s, emphasizing the need for awareness of its symptoms. Through accounts of traumatic events and their effects, particularly on children, the latter chapters present research and insights from psychiatrists on addressing PTSD, offering hope for those whose lives have been deeply affected.
