More about the book

Exploring the social contexts of trauma, the book delves into how it affects individuals, groups, and cultures, as well as its generational transmission. Alford discusses the historical roots of trauma and the development of PTSD as a response to veterans’ experiences, emphasizing that these concepts are not purely scientific. The author critiques the scientific study of trauma, particularly the use of technologies like MRI, suggesting that such approaches may overlook the true essence of suffering inherent in traumatic experiences.
