TARİHSEL/TOPLUMSAL TRAVMALARIN KUŞAKLARARASI PSİKOSOSYAL ETKİLERİ: DERSİM 38 ÖRNEĞİNDE BİR OLGU SUNUMU

Tarihsel/toplumsal travmaların kuşaklararası aktarım potansiyeli oldukça güçlüdür. Bu yönüyle, tarihsel/toplumsal travmalar sadece sağ kalanları değil sonraki nesilleri de etkileyerek, kuşaklar boyu sürebilen psikososyal yakınmalara yol açabilmektedir. Travmaya maruz kalan ebeveynlerin ortaya koymuş olduğu semptomlar, sözsüz davranışlar, keder ve bilinçsiz korkular, çocuklar tarafından adeta hafızaya alınarak içselleştirilir. Bu süreçte sonraki kuşakların yardımsız kalması toksik stres yükünü artırmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda Dersim 1938’in (Tertele) psikososyal boyutta yol açtığı uzun dönemli etkileri ikinci kuşak bir travma mağdurunun gözünden değerlendirilmiş ve yol açtığı sonuçların önleyici, tedavi edici ve rehabilite edici hizmetler açısından önemi tartışılmıştır.

INTERGENERATIONAL PSYCHOSOCIAL EFFECTS OF HISTORICAL/SOCIAL TRAUMA: A CASE REPORT IN DERSIM 38 EXAMPLE

The potential for intergenerational transmission of historical/social traumas is quite strong. In this respect, historical/social traumas affect not only the survivors but also the next generations, leading to psychosocial complaints that can last for generations. The symptoms, nonverbal behaviors, grief and unconscious fears revealed by the parents exposed to the trauma are internalized by being absorbed by the children within the family system. In this process, the absence of help from the next generations increases the toxic stress load. In this case report, the long-term effects of Dersim 1938 (Tertele) on psychosocial dimension will be evaluated in the eyes of a second generation trauma victim and the importance of these results in terms of preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitative services will be discussed.
