How Trauma & Disintegration Shape Collective Cultures & Social Systems Workshop with Winniey E. Maduro

Participants in this workshop will be encouraged to explore social injuries and insecurities that influence social psychology, collective cultures and group dynamics. Insight will be drawn from the historical events of the Holocaust and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, both of which continue to hold significance in our collective consciousness. This exploration will help participants to make sense of collective trauma as a source of social inflammation that - in the absence of careful and intentional interruption - persists and informs patterns of relationships among and within people groups across generations. The extensive research surrounding these significant events of adversity will be drawn upon to help participants to appreciate collective trauma from a neurobiological perspective as well.

Participants will gain insight into:

• The neurobiology of collective trauma & social psychology
• Pseudo-speciation & marginalization as social injuries
• Transgenerational collective trauma – The Holocaust in case study
• Transmission of collective trauma – The Transatlantic Slave Trade and the continuing experience of black populations of the Americas in case study
• Psychosocial Developmental Demand in Focus – Integrating Generativity to Promote Care (the Antithesis of Stagnation and Self-absorption in Dis-Integration)
• Introduction to Actional SPEARs for integration & Well-being - Correcting the stories

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

• Featuring theoretical insights alongside case studies, this workshop holds a specific appeal for trauma researchers, therapists, clinicians, as well as lay individuals exploring their own traumas.

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

• Promising an exploration of the neurobiology of the psychosocial, this is a “cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural synthesis of neurobiology, attachment and trauma theory, spirituality, and epigenetics. Woven through passionate prose is an appreciation of the centrality of storytelling, testimony, and bearing witness in the lives of human beings in groups and communities. Here is a giant step forward for the emergent field of psychosocial studies” with a special appeal for clinicians and well-being practitioners employing neurobiology of the psychosocial and narratives to improve outcomes within therapeutic relationships.

This is one of a series of 12 workshops based on Dr Maduro's recently published work on Neuropsychosocial Integration in which she explores the incidence of psychosocial trauma in ordinary life as it persists across generations.
