The work of mental health clinicians will be the focus of study. The complexity of the clinician’s trauma work will be considered through clinical presentation by clinicians, readings, and discussions. Topics include: the meaning and experience of trauma, interventions in clinical trauma work (such as child abuse, sexual abuse, rape, human trafficking, battering, racism, and war and its aftermath, terrorism and political action); and working with natural disasters. There will be academic autopsies of case material.
