J Child Adolesc Trauma. 2016 Oct 28;11(2):173-186. doi: 10.1007/s40653-016-0117-9. eCollection 2018 Jun.
Drawing on decades of work as allies with Indigenous families and communities in Canada, the authors present a review of literature on intergenerational, historical trauma and the effects of early trauma. Included in the review are critical considerations as to whether understanding of stressed human capacity, as described by family members of various generations affected by traumatic events, may be increased through exploring the developmental implications of complex trauma. Research on brain-based effects of early trauma and work from the field of epigenetics may contribute other components to the understanding of complex, intergenerational impacts of multiple trauma contexts. Informed support for individuals and families combined with political advocacy at a systems level is critical in intergenerational trauma work in order to break historic patterns affecting family development and interactions.
基于在加拿大与原住民家庭和社区合作数十年的经验，作者对代际、历史创伤以及早期创伤的影响的文献进行了综述。该综述包括一些关键考量，即通过探究复杂创伤的发展影响，是否可以增进对受创伤事件影响的不同代家庭成员所描述的人类应激能力的理解。关于早期创伤的基于大脑的影响的研究以及表观遗传学领域的研究，可能为理解多重创伤背景下复杂的代际影响提供其他要素。在代际创伤工作中，为个人和家庭提供明智的支持并在系统层面进行政治倡导，对于打破影响家庭发展和互动的历史模式至关重要。
