因为创伤性事件的恐怖和强度是无法忍受的，它们通常作为记忆存在，不能立即识别为真相。要理解这些经验，不仅要通过直接获取事实，而且要通过发现有意识的理解和记忆失败的地方和原因的过程。凯西·卡鲁斯（Cathy Caruth）和其他人认为，文学为创伤体验打开了一扇窗户，因为它教会读者倾听那些只能以间接和令人惊讶的方式讲述的东西。社会学、电影和政治行动主义也可以提供思考和应对创伤经历的新方法。这项工作分析了各种临床和理论学科的文献和新方法为理解创伤经历带来了什么。文章和访谈的结合是为了让关注创伤概念和解释问题的分析师和评论家感兴趣，更普遍地说，是为了让那些对当前讨论虐待儿童、艾滋病和大屠杀等历史暴行的影响感兴趣的人感兴趣。
Because traumatic events are unbearable in their horror and intensity, they often exist as memories that are not immediately recognisable as truth. Such experiences are best understood not only through the straightforward acquisition of facts but through a process of discovering where and why conscious understanding and memory fail. Literature, according to Cathy Caruth and others, opens a window on traumatic experience because it teaches readers to listen to what can be told only in indirect and surprising ways. Sociology, film and political activism can also provide new ways of thinking about and responding to the experience of trauma. This work offers an analysis of what literature and the new approaches of a variety of clinical and theoretical disciplines bring to the understanding of traumatic experience. The combination of essays and interviews is intended to be of interest to analysts and critics concerned with the notion of trauma and the problem of interpretation and, more generally, to those interested in current discussions of subjects such as child abuse, AIDS and the effects of historical atrocities such as the Holocaust.
