Bessel in a very recent interview also talks of trauma as adhesive4identity as 'a dangerous thing' Somewhat similar, recently deceased Irish psychiatrist Ivor Browne spoke of trauma in terms of 'frozen present' So, what would solidify something in the present? Ivor Browne like Peter Fonagy talks of 'pseudo science'-'pre-mental equivalence' which goes back2neurologist Freud, his ideas on the constancy principle lens the 'repetition compulsion.' In even starker terminology, the cryptic Hegel in his purvey of the historical audit, within his vantage point of 18th/19th Century, 'history as a slaughter bench/slaughter of innocence. Around the same time, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe says 'In nature, we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it, and over it.' Looking at Ireland from Act of Union in the early 1800s/Catholic Emancipation and on to 1845-1922 (Ferriter, 2009 Occasions of Sin), apart from horror of Famine, refers2 'Devotional Revolution' (Emmet Larkin) as significantly underpinned by the radical fundamentalism of Vatican One in Rome, in combo with the Anglo-Irish Estates/French/Spain/Italian Clerical/Principalities&Estates, and, for Ireland, with signifiant USA help from Irish generations who had left our shores in prior centuries. Journalist Fintan O'Toole had made reference2 'lie of the land' (1998) a title of one of his books, and, in another book 'We do not know Ourselves' (2023) subsequently penned an article in 2024 Jan 2nd, referring to the overhang, which was before the very strong showing of the main parties in the recent local and EU elections, these parties whose lineage were directly immersed in the historical legacy of Ireland on into the evolving present. "Ireland has a history of keeping secrets that was not a genetic quirk – it was an institutional imposition."(O Toole 2024) Regarding this legacy, an award winning documentary trailer called 'Pray for our Sinners (2023) begins with this voiceover of a woman 'I just feel angry with the people who taught up this whole empire. A whole empire designated2punishing girls' https://lnkd.in/e2bKBcXY Bessel A. van Der Kolk's earlier work, in collaboration with others, tended 2place far greater emphases on the sociology of trauma, more intricately nested in the 'long apprenticeship by way of the body (Bourdieu). How gender appropriation is acted upon-regional impacts of heritage. Themes taken up by Judith Herman (1997&2023)&Judith Butler 2024. "Historically, trauma studies have neglected vulnerable populations, as well as experience/aftermath of trauma in non-Western cultures. Although art/literature are replete with descriptions of posttrauma reactions in non-Western countries devastated by war, genocide&other geopolitical conflicts, it is unclear, if these reactions map neatly onto current Western definitions of ASD/PTSD.
