Summary:

Trauma is a key concept in many fields of psychology and medicine. Different understandings of trauma are at play here, which are sometimes blurred and usually have little relation to each other. In order to provide orientation in the discussion and to contribute to a reflected use of the concept of trauma in research and practice, this book presents central - clinical, psychosocial, transgenerational and collective - trauma concepts and demonstrates their significance in selected therapeutic, institutional, research and socio-political fields of practice by means of case studies. The content: Actuality of trauma History of the trauma discourse Clinical conception of trauma Psychosocial trauma understanding Transgenerational transmission Concepts of collective traumatization The target groups: Professionals in psychosocial and educational trauma work Students and lecturers of psychology, medicine and health sciences The authors: Phil C. Langer is Professor of Social Psychology and Social Psychiatry at the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin. Dymczyk is doing her PhD at Humboldt-University Berlin in the context of a discourse analysis on the transgenerational transmission of traumatization. Alina Brehm is a university assistant at the Institute for Educational Science at the University of Vienna. Joram Ronel is head physician for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy at the Barmelweid Clinic and in scientific cooperation with the Technical University Munich. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
