目的：集体创伤的概念主要应用于自然灾害和人类灾害。本文旨在探讨集体创伤是否提供了一种尊重的方式来探索和应对土著家庭和社区的心理健康和福祉问题。方法：对国际文献进行了回顾，以确定可能与澳大利亚土著社区相关的集体和大规模创伤研究的要素。结果：研究结果支持这样一个命题，即人类对灾难的反应模式，特别是在战争等长期创伤中，与澳大利亚受殖民及其后遗症影响的土著居民的经历和反应模式有很强的相似之处。结论：采用国际上在灾害情况下制定的以证据为依据的家庭和社区治疗原则，可以提供有益的方式，使澳大利亚土著人民的心理健康和福利问题概念化并以协调的方式作出反应。
OBJECTIVE: The concept of collective trauma has predominantly been applied in the context of natural and human disasters. This paper seeks to explore whether collective trauma offers a respectful way in which to explore and respond to mental health and wellbeing issues for Aboriginal families and communities.METHOD: A review of the international literature was undertaken in order to determine the elements of collective and mass trauma studies which may have relevance for Indigenous communities in Australia.RESULTS: Findings support the proposition that the patterns of human responses to disasters, particularly in protracted traumas such as war-zones, shows strong parallels to the contemporary patterns of experience and responses articulated by Aboriginal people affected by colonization and its sequelae in Australia.CONCLUSION: Adopting evidence-informed principles of family and community healing developed internationally in disaster situations may provide helpful ways of conceptualizing and responding in a coordinated way to mental health and wellbeing issues for Indigenous people within Australia.
