Rezensionen

"This book is a valuable addition to the field, one that attempts to distill the main dimensions of trauma legacy of totalitarian regimes. It has potential to help individuals, families, and society." - Yael Danieli, PhD, director of the Group Project for Holocaust Survivors and Their Children and founder of the International Center for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Multi-Generational Legacies of Trauma, USA

"This book is a call to both reflection and action. It focuses on how to create a better future in the face of reoccurring mass violence, oppression, and totalitarian tendencies. This book, rich in knowledge, experience, and references, is a must for everybody interested in trauma psychology, political history, social psychology, and peace work." - Göran Högberg MD, PhD, general psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychodramatist, Sweden

"This book is very valuable. It describes the powerful role of past group traumas in the life of a society and shows not only how group traumas and their psychological effects become part of a society's culture but also how they enable the creation and maintenance of totalitarian systems. The author's analysis has the potential to create awareness in people living in traumatized societies, which can make dictatorships less likely and improve people's lives in a variety of ways." - Ervin Staub, professor emeritus and founding director of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA
