- Summary:
- Description of Content: Taking a broad-based psychosocial position, this book opens with the voices of 15 trauma survivors, whose traumas derive directly from, or are related to September 11, 2001, and then goes on to listen to other voices, those of President Bush, of Freud, Einstein, and Lacan on war. The effects of September 11 are seen in a psychosocial world context that ranges from Ground Zero to Afghanistan and Iraq. The book concludes with chapters on the treatment of traumatized patients, the nature of trauma, including discussions both of Freud's own views on trauma and his own traumas, and Lacan's writing on trauma. The afterword presents an illuminating discussion of Edvard Munch's painting The Scream.
