In this era of globalization, when news about political violence can haunt anyone, anywhere, those whose families have suffered political violence in the past are particularly vulnerable to current distress. Skilled in understanding transgenerational processes, family therapists need to be familiar with the mechanisms by which children are exposed to the effects of political violence suffered by their elders-that is, the ways in which they become their witnesses. This article presents a framework for understanding how the trauma of political violence experienced in one generation can "pass" to another that did not directly experience it, and proposes a model to guide clinical intervention.
在这个全球化的时代，政治暴力的新闻可能会困扰任何人、任何地方，那些其家庭过去遭受过政治暴力的人尤其容易受到当前困境的影响。家庭治疗师擅长理解代际过程，需要熟悉儿童接触其长辈所遭受的政治暴力影响的机制——也就是说，他们成为见证者的方式。本文提出了一个框架，用于理解一代人经历的政治暴力创伤如何能够“传递”给没有直接经历过的另一代人，并提出了一个指导临床干预的模型。
