Bearing Witness: Violence and Collective Responsibility offers a unique layperson’s introduction to the scope and causes of violence and trauma theory and suggests ways we can all work to attack these causes. Upon completing this work, you will have a better understanding of the social causes of the violence epidemic and concrete suggestions for its long-term control. Bearing Witness addresses the cycle of violence by discussing some of the biological, psychological, social, and moral issues that go into determining whether a person will end up as a victim, perpetrator, or bystander to violent events and what happens to us when we are in one or all three of these roles. The authors look at a number of intersecting factors that play interdependent roles in creating a culture that promotes, supports, and even encourages violence. Specifically, you’ll gain invaluable insight into: trauma theory and traumatogenic forces--backdrops against which the chances of exposure to violence and the use of violence as a problemsolver are increased normal human development in the context of attachment theory and what occurs as a result of disrupted attachment bonds how rapid changes in modern society and the breakdown of the traditional family structure contribute to a level

Moral injury has developed in earnest since 2009 within psychology and military studies, especially through work with veterans of the U.S. military’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A major part of this work is the attempt to identify means of healing, recovery, and repair for those morally injured by their experiences in combat (or similar situations). What this volume does is to provide insight into the identification of moral injury, the development of the notion, attempts to work with those affected, emerging ideas about moral injury, portraits of moral injury in the past and present, and, especially, what creative engagement with moral injury might look like from a variety of perspectives. As such, it will be an important resource for Christian ministers, chaplains, health care workers, and other providers and caregivers who serve afflicted communities.

The field of psychotherapy is defined by its capacity to provide a safe container for soul healing and meaning making. Countless experts in the fields of depth psychology have illuminated the therapeutic transformations that can occur when clinicians utilize myth and make space for the sacred. This thesis explores how the mythopoetic process in the creation of myth can be used as a psychotherapeutic bridge between a traumatic event and a spiritual connection to engender meaning and resiliency. The research examines the impact of the loss of soul on the effectiveness of psychotherapy and reveals the benefits of guiding clients through the creation of personal myth, allowing them to redefine their narratives and create lasting, meaningful relationships to their life paths and their spiritual orientations. Using heuristic and alchemical hermeneutic methodologies, this thesis follows the author in her mythopoetic journey, weaving the themes and narratives of trauma and spirituality throughout.
