Thriving in the Wake of Trauma

A Multicultural Guide

Beschreibung

Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, migration status, religion and many other cultural factors play an important role in recovery from a traumatic event. However, most conventional attempts to help people recover from trauma do not anticipate or address these factors. Here, a psychologist describes how to recognize the cultural issues that need to be considered for healing. She offers vignettes illustrating these issues, as well as activities for traumatized people to regain their sense of self-esteem, safety, strength and calm.

Rezensionen

In I>Thriving in the Wake of Trauma: A Multicultural Guide, Thema Bryant-Davis writes about trauma with the clarity of a clinician and with the passion of one who has survived it. -- Joanne Luna, Graduate School of Education, California State University, Long Beach With the eloquence of a poet and the insight of an astute psychologist, Dr. Bryant-Davis offers inspiration and hope to all trauma survivors. -- Judith Herman, Harvard Medical Center, Harvard University Thema Bryant-Davis has provided practitioners in the field and survivors of trauma with a significant resource. She sheds new light on the previously poorly illuminated road to trauma recovery for survivors who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups, and she describes clinical interventions that incorporate art, music, movement, and poetry. Thriving in the Wake of Trauma will enrich practice, teaching, and the recovery process. -- Laura Palmer, Department of Psychology, Seton Hall University
