美国印第安人历史创伤（HT）概念是种族创伤（RT）理论的重要先驱，反映了主权土著民族的独特利益，但有许多相同的承诺和挑战。在这里，通过追踪HT的反殖民主义野心和组织思想的理论发展，探索了这种承诺和挑战。从文献中提炼出三种主要的HT参与模式（HT作为一种临床状况，生活压力源和批判性话语），每一种都为追求不同的反殖民主义抱负（治愈创伤，促进恢复力，实践生存）的研究计划提供了信息，这些研究计划由关于殖民化，健康和印第安人的不同想法组织。通过批判性反思这些不同的野心和他们的组织思想的对话，研究计划之间的冲突可以减轻和更富有成效的反殖民主义实现心理学和相关的健康领域。关键建议强调澄清临床概念（例如，临床综合征与痛苦习惯用语），解开个体病理学的临床叙述（例如，创伤）从人口逆境的社会叙述（例如，生存故事），关注不容易被健康指数捕捉到的定居者殖民主义的特征（例如，结构性暴力），并鼓励将反殖民努力与建设性批评结合起来，建立与有助于促进对殖民和土著健康的心理理解的学科的概念桥梁（例如，后殖民研究）。这一概念框架被应用到RT文献中，通过与心理学和相关健康领域的接触，阐述了推进RT理论和少数民族/种族人口利益的类似建议。
The American Indian historical trauma (HT) concept is an important precursor to racial trauma (RT) theory that reflects the distinct interests of sovereign Indigenous nations but shares much of the same promise and challenge. Here, that promise and challenge is explored by tracing HT's theoretical development in terms of its anticolonial ambitions and organizing ideas. Three predominant modes of engaging HT were distilled form the literature (HT as a clinical condition, life stressor, and critical discourse), each informing a research program pursuing a different anticolonial ambition (healing trauma, promoting resilience, practicing survivance) organized by distinct ideas about colonization, wellness, and Indigeneity. Through critical reflection on these different ambitions and dialogue of their organizing ideas, conflict between research programs can be mitigated and a more productive anticolonialism realized in psychology and related health fields. Key recommendations emphasized clarifying clinical concepts (e.g., clinical syndrome vs. idiom of distress), disentangling clinical narratives of individual pathology (e.g., trauma) from social narratives of population adversity (e.g., survivance stories), attending to features of settler-colonialism not easily captured by heath indices (e.g., structural violence), and encouraging alignment of anticolonial efforts with constructive critiques establishing conceptual bridges to disciplines that can help to advance psychological understandings of colonization and Indigenous wellness (e.g., postcolonial studies). This conceptual framework was applied to the RT literature to elaborate similar recommendations for advancing RT theory and the interests of ethnic/racial minority populations through engagement with psychology and related health fields.
