Trauma, ranging from interpersonal to intergenerational, can create severe dysregulation and psychic suffering. Trauma may disrupt the nervous system, identity, affect regulation, and relationship schemas. Traumatic events can also disconnect survivors from the various aspects of themselves as well as their community. As a trauma survivor and trauma psychologist, I have dedicated my career to exploring ways of restoring and healing those severed connections. Exploring decolonial and liberation psychologies awakened me to conceptualizations and frameworks that center reclamation as a form of holistic healing and empowerment for trauma survivors. While much of the individually centered trauma literature focuses on skills-based psychoeducation and cognitive behavioral coping strategies, there has traditionally been less, although growing, attention paid to the diverse culturally grounded, sociopolitical pathways for survivors to reclaim themselves. In this article, I explore my scholarship and the scholarship of other underrepresented scholars as we discuss decolonial and liberation psychologies, the pathways they illuminate that can benefit the trauma recovery process, especially for marginalized survivors, and their implications for practice, training/teaching, research, and policy. The trauma and healing-informed decolonial and liberation pathways that emerge from the literature are culture as medicine, community support, spirituality and religiosity, expressive arts, and resistance. This article argues that the field would benefit from a more inclusive view of trauma and trauma recovery if it incorporates, builds on, explores, and learns from the scholarship of decolonial and liberation psychologists and traditional cultural healers.

创伤心理学领域的非殖民主义和解放心理学的教训。


从人际到代际的创伤都会造成严重的失调和精神痛苦。创伤可能会破坏神经系统、身份、影响调节和关系模式。创伤事件还会使幸存者与自己以及社区的各个方面脱节。作为一名创伤幸存者和创伤心理学家，我致力于探索恢复和治愈那些断绝的联系的方法。探索非殖民主义和解放心理学唤醒了我的概念化和框架，这些概念和框架将回收作为创伤幸存者整体治疗和赋权的一种形式。虽然许多以个人为中心的创伤文献都关注基于技能的心理教育和认知行为应对策略，但传统上，对幸存者自我救赎的不同文化、社会政治途径的关注较少，尽管在不断增长。在本文中，我在讨论非殖民主义和解放心理学时，探讨了我的学术成果和其他代表性不足的学者的学术成果，它们阐明了有利于创伤恢复过程的途径，特别是对于边缘化幸存者，以及它们对实践、培训/教学的影响，研究、政策。从文学中出现的创伤和治疗信息的非殖民和解放途径是作为医学的文化、社区支持、灵性和宗教、表现艺术和抵抗。本文认为，如果该领域能够吸收、借鉴、探索和学习非殖民主义和解放心理学家以及传统文化治疗师的学术成果，那么该领域将受益于对创伤和创伤恢复更具包容性的观点。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
