S5 E3: A Brief History of Trauma
Update: 2024-06-18
Description
In this episode, Dr. Lee & TLC dive into the history of trauma and how it's been studied over time.
They discuss early historical accounts mentioning trauma's effects on soldiers, the emergence of "railway spine" in the 1880s as one of the first recognitions of psychological trauma, and Freud's controversial work on hysteria and abuse in the late 19th century.
The conversation sheds light on the evolving definition of trauma and how certain harmful experiences have been historically overlooked.
Key takeaways:
- Trauma has been described in historical writings for centuries, often in the context of war and catastrophic accidents, but with limited understanding.
- In the late 1800s, the concept of psychological trauma started to be recognized separately from just physical injury.
- Our definition of trauma continues to expand, with growing awareness of how profoundly "everyday" painful experiences can impact individuals.
Join Dr. Lee and TLC for an enlightening expedition into the history of trauma!
