Trauma: Intersections among Narrative, Neuroscience, and Psychoanalysis

The conference workshops explore trauma through interdisciplinary perspectives, bringing clinical practice into conversation with narrative studies, neuroscience, and psychoanalytic thought.

Workshop Themes

• The transmission of trauma across generations and its implications for therapists.
• The relationship between traumatic experience, memory, and narrative.
• Clinical approaches to understanding trauma in the mind and body.
• Dialogue among psychoanalysis, neuroscience, literature, and the humanities.

The workshops form part of the conference held at George Washington University in Washington, DC, from March 4–6, 2010.
