Summary

'Ordinary' trauma and loss are part of life and psychopathology. Massive psychic trauma (e.g. sexual violence) has distinct and special effects, not only on victims, but via transmission to future generations. The workshop will use clinical material to demonstrate such effects and treatment and also invite the participants to discuss their case material.
