Culture, Context and Resilience After Traumatic Events

Abstract

Trauma and crisis are considered and reviewed within the context of the cultural subjectivity, current and historical, within which these events occur. Meaning of and importance of boundaries will be explored, in particular with today’s use of cell phones and the internet. Examples of how we listen to both ‘words and music’ in our groups and to their members will be examined. To paraphrase Aristotle, a keynote must educate both the heart and the mind, or it is not a keynote at all.
