The Lens of Culture, III Ursula Wirtz, Ph.D. Sunday, November 1, 2015, 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. IHM Retreat Center, 50 Mt Carmel Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87505 Description of Presentation and Educational Methods Through lecture and group discussion we view the impact of traumatic events upon individual and group identities using the lens of culture. Dissociation, repression and complex formation are shown as central responses to trauma alongside the role of resilience and adaptation in the face of adversity. We conclude our investigation of culture specific paths of healing that restore meaning to traumatized individuals and collectives. Highlighting the centrality of the symbolic function, a special emphasis is placed upon uses of mythology, storytelling and ritual in framing and containing trauma.
