BOOK EXCERPT:

In "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia Conflict: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness", David Hoicka, an award-winning mediator from neutral Singapore, explores the profound impact of intergenerational trauma on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Hoicka offers a compelling argument for the critical role of mediation in addressing the psychological and emotional wounds that fuel the conflict and hinder efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperity. Mediation is a process where a skilled mediator facilitates dialogue between parties in conflict, assisting parties to creatively find options and alternatives to best satisfy their underlying interests, given the reality of their circumstances, and achieve peace, prosperity and happiness. In this book Hoicka analyzes how long-standing intergenerational trauma delays achieving peace in Ukraine and Russia, and provides workable solutions. By applying mediation to the Ukraine Russia conflict, while intentionally addressing intergenerational trauma, we facilitate resolving both Ukraine's and Russia's underlying interests to achieve meaningful peace, economic growth, and happiness. Understanding Intergenerational Trauma Hoicka begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the concept of intergenerational trauma, examining how the collective experiences of violence, oppression, and hardship can be passed down through generations, shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities. He explores the ways in which the legacies of Soviet-era policies, the challenges of the post-Soviet transition, and the ongoing tensions around language, culture, and national identity have contributed to the deep-seated mistrust and animosity that characterize the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In the context of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the concept of intergenerational trauma has become increasingly relevant in understanding the deep-rooted psychological and emotional factors that contribute to the persistence of hostilities. As a mediator working towards fostering peace and reconciliation, it is crucial to recognize the role that intergenerational trauma plays in shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities affected by the conflict. The Power of Mediation With case studies and practical steps, Hoicka demonstrates the transformative potential of mediation in breaking cycles of trauma and conflict. He argues that by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for dialogue, fostering empathy and understanding, and addressing the underlying psychological and emotional needs of all parties, mediation can help to build trust, promote healing and rapprochement, and pave the way for sustainable peace and reconciliation. A Path Forward Hoicka offers a compelling vision for the future of Ukraine-Russia relations, one that is grounded in the principles of inclusivity, dialogue, and mutual understanding. He provides concrete strategies and recommendations for policymakers, civil society leaders, and ordinary citizens to support mediation efforts and promote long-term peace and prosperity in the region. An Essential Read "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the role of mediation in promoting peace and reconciliation. Written with great emotional depth, clarity, and accessibility, this book is a must-read for policymakers, scholars, practitioners, and general readers alike who are committed to building a more just, peaceful, and prosperous world. To ensure broad accessibility, this book is priced affordably. It is my sincere hope that by making this resource widely available, it can have a meaningful, positive impact. If my book "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia" can save even one life or bring a measure of happiness to a single individual, I will feel a deep sense of fulfillment and happiness myself. I will be grateful to be able to make a difference through this work. David Hoicka

Intergenerational Trauma And Healing

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This Special Issue of Genealogy explores the topic of “Intergenerational Trauma and Healing”. Authors examine the ways in which traumas (individual or group, and affecting humans and non-humans) that occurred in past generations reverberate into the present and how individuals, communities, and nations respond to and address those traumas. Authors also explore contemporary traumas, how they reflect ancestral traumas, and how they are being addressed through drawing on both contemporary and ancestral healing approaches. The articles define trauma broadly, including removal from homelands, ecocide, genocide, sexual or gendered violence, institutionalized and direct racism, incarceration, and exploitation, and across a wide range of spatial (home to nation) and temporal (intergenerational/ancestral and contemporary) scales. Articles also approach healing in an expansive mode, including specific individual healing practices, community-based initiatives, class-action lawsuits, group-wide reparations, health interventions, cultural approaches, and transformative legal or policy decisions. Contributing scholars for this issue are from across disciplines (including ethnic studies, genetics, political science, law, environmental policy, public health, humanities, etc.). They consider trauma and its ramifications alongside diverse mechanisms of healing and/or rearticulating self, community, and nation.

Healing Haunted Histories

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Healing Haunted Histories tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent. Violations which inhabit every intersection of settler and Indigenous worlds, past and present. Wounds inextricably woven into the fabric of our personal and political lives. And it argues we can heal those wounds through the inward and outward journey of decolonization. The authors write as, and for, settlers on this journey, exploring the places, peoples, and spirits that have formed (and deformed) us. They look at issues of Indigenous justice and settler “response-ability” through the lens of Elaine’s Mennonite family narrative, tracing Landlines, Bloodlines, and Songlines like a braided river. From Ukrainian steppes to Canadian prairies to California chaparral, they examine her forebearers’ immigrant travails and trauma, settler unknowing and complicity, and traditions of resilience and conscience. And they invite readers to do the same. Part memoir, part social, historical, and theological analysis, and part practical workbook, this process invites settler Christians (and other people of faith) into a discipleship of decolonization. How are our histories, landscapes, and communities haunted by continuing Indigenous dispossession? How do we transform our colonizing self-perceptions, lifeways, and structures? And how might we practice restorative solidarity with Indigenous communities today?

South Slavic Women S Transgenerational Trauma Healing Through Oral Memory Practices

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

South Slavic Women’s Transgenerational Trauma Healing through Oral Memory Practices: Women War Crimes and War Survivors explains that Kolo-Informed Trauma Treatment is a clinical, cultural, psychological, and neurobiological approach that draws upon the rich scientific UNESCO intangible cultural heritage and embodied practices of the South Slavic Kolo-circle movement format or somatic folk dance. The author argues that Slavic oral memory practices are not in fact worthless or outdated in healing trauma. The inclusion of the little-known or rarely researched women who have experienced war crimes and war trauma demonstrates the intrinsic depth and female indigenous resources aligning with many scientific interdisciplinary fields and women’s human rights. Central to the Kolo-Informed Trauma Treatment is the profound recognition of the importance of women’s cultural memory and somatic oral traditions to evolve towards communal healing. Women’s memory narrative enables the South Slavic people to have profound communal approaches to offer insights into the effects of war trauma, advocating paths towards thriving. Through a recalibration with the relationship of women as valued resources and prominence as creators of healing cultures, South Slavic women’s communal healing practices, if orchestrated on a planetary scale, elaborate inclusive dynamic homeostasis.

Diaspora Mobilizations For Transitional Justice

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Transitional justice and diaspora studies are interdisciplinary and expanding fields of study. Finding the right combination of mechanisms to forward transitional justice in post-conflict societies is an ongoing challenge for states and affected populations. Diasporas, as non-state actors with increased agency in homelands, host-lands, and other global locations, engage with their past from a distance, but their actions are little understood. Diaspora Mobilizations for Transitional Justice develops a novel framework to demonstrate how diasporas connect with local actors in transitional justice processes through a variety of mechanisms and their underlying analytical rationales—emotional, cognitive, symbolic/value-based, strategic, and networks-based. Mechanisms featured here are: thin sympathetic response and chosen trauma, fear and hope, contact and framing, cooperation and coalition-building, brokerage, patronage, and connective action, among others. The contributors discuss the role of diasporas in truth commissions, memorialization, recognition of genocides and other human rights atrocities, as well as their abilities to affect transitional justice from afar by holding particular attitudes, or upon return temporarily or for good. This book sheds light on how diasporas’ contextual embeddedness shapes their mobilization strategies, and features empirical evidence from Europe, United States and Canada, as well as from conflict and postconflict polities in the Balkans, Middle East, Eurasia and Latin America. It was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Understanding Korean Americans Mental Health

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The Korean American community is one of the major Asian ethnic subgroups in the United States. Though considered among one of the model minority groups, excelling academically and professionally, members in this community are plagued by unaddressed mental health obstacles. In Understanding Korean Americans’ Mental Health: A Guide to Culturally Competent Practices, Program Developments, and Policies, the editors, Anderson Sungmin Yoon, Sung Seek Moon, and Haein Son, examine a variety of mental health issues in the Korean American community, including depression, suicide, substance abuse, and trauma, and convincingly connect these challenges to cultural stigma and racial prejudice. The editors argue that this population and its mental health needs are neglected by current approaches in mainstream mental health services. Alarmingly, the very cultural values that help make up the Korean American community are contributing to its members’ reluctance to seek care, counting both familial and communal shame among the most pressing culprits. This book supports these claims with statistical realities and seeks to gather the relatively scarce research that does exist on this topic to underscore the heightened prevalence of mental health issues among Korean Americans, and the contributors make recommendations for more culturally competent practices, program developments, and policies.
