Clinical psycho-trauma studies
Psycho-trauma studies – of the kind which is clinically solid and psychodynamically informed – deserves particular attention if one accepts the assumption that any act of producing and/or consuming fictional literary or media narratives is always also attached to the existential human challenge of working-through and coming to terms mentally with the experiences from ones personal past. This coming to terms may imply dealing with issues of a psycho-traumatic nature.
