PTSD is our History
Manage episode 352027689 series 3281358
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has perhaps existed as long as mankind has experienced trauma. It was finally recognized as a diagnosable condition in 1980 when the American Psychological Association included it in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for mental health practitioners.
Historical Trauma is an example of intergenerational trauma. It’s caused by events that target a group of people. Thus, even family members who have not directly experienced the trauma can feel the effects of the event generations later. • Dr. Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart, Ph.D., conceptualized historical trauma in the 1980s, as a way to develop a stronger understanding of why life for many Native Americans is not fulfilling "the American Dream".
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is a condition that exists as a consequence of centuries of chattel slavery followed by institutionalized racism and oppression that have resulted in multigenerational adaptive behavior, some positive reflecting resilience, and others that are harmful and destructive.
The theory of P.T.S.S. was developed by Dr. Joy DeGruy as a result of twelve years of quantitative and qualitative research.
