Creative Arts Therapies and PTSD bibliography-web

چکیده
The author argues that ours has been called an age of trauma. Yet, neither trauma nor PTSD are scientific concepts. Trauma has been around forever, even if it was not called that. PTSD is the creation of a group of Vietnam veterans and psychiatrists, designed to help explain veterans’ suffering. This does not detract from the value of PTSD, but sets its historical and social context. The author confronts the attempt to study trauma scientifically, exploring the use of technologies such as magnetic resonance imagining (MRI). He concludes that the scientific study of trauma often reflects a willed ignorance of traumatic experience: in the end, trauma is about suffering.
