How does a trauma survivor communicate «what can’t be said out loud» to others? In what form? How can we – readers, listeners, viewers – recognize the pain and suffering hidden behind words, pictures, or other artifacts produced by trauma survivors? This volume presents a possible response by bringing together the «expressions of the unspeakable» by trauma survivors and the interpretation of researchers in various fields, i.e. clinical psychologists, linguists, anthropologists, literary and film scholars, historians, and visual artists, some of whom are survivors of trauma. By describing or analyzing different strategies for finding a narrative form for expressing the survivor’s trauma, the contributors offer not only insights into how the survivors dealt with the pain of traumatic memories but also how they were able to find hope for healing by telling their stories, in literature, graphic novels, visual art or simply by creating a personal narrative in their own voice.

"This book takes a deeper look into the darker side of the human condition by examining the psyches of those who have been victims or survivors of heinous acts perpetrated by others. From the "personal Holocaust" of sexual abuse in the family, to the genocidal persecution during "the" Holocaust, and from the shared national horror of September 11 to the Palestinian/Israeli situation, a special model of the traumatized mind is evolved to further our understanding of such "dark matters".The traditional models of the mind fall short when dealing with extraordinary people under ordinary conditions as well as with ordinary people under extraordinary conditions. This metapsychology is organized around the defensive operations of repression or splitting. In the model proposed here, defensive altered states of consciousness, or dissociation seems more helpful. A historical perspective is offered, from Freud and Breuer, with their Studies on Hysteria, to current thinking about dissociative disorders. A developmental line of dissociation is also explored. Extensive case material is presented to illustrate the theoretical as well as technical challenges of working with the lapses of memory, unbearable affects, and countertransference demands upon the clinician."--Provided by publisher.

Cet ouvrage se base sur plusieurs années d'expérience clinique et de recherche dans le champ du psychotraumatisme. Il propose 15 études de cas des principales formes du vécu psychotraumatique que l'on peut rencontrer en clinique. La capacité du traumatisme psychique à transformer radicalement un individu dans son équilibre somato-psychique, ses croyances, son identité, ses relations à autrui, interroge fondamentalement la question de la vulnérabilité psychique et du sens que revêt pour chacun l'expérience traumatique. Basé sur plusieurs années d'expérience clinique et de recherche dans le champ du psychotraumatisme, cet ouvrage présente de nombreux cas qui illustrent plusieurs dimensions cliniques et psychopathologiques fondamentales du traumatisme psychique dans des contextes cliniques divers (accidents, agressions, catastrophes, guerres, deuils traumatiques, traumatismes médicaux, harcèlement sexuel, traumas extrêmes, exil…). Il met l'accent sur la complexité des facteurs de vulnérabilité individuels et contextuels selon les situations cliniques et sur la nécessité de reconnaître et d'identifier le noyau psychotraumatique commun pour permettre un suivi adapté.
