July 2003

The last paragraph of this article, which was written 10 days after 9/11/2001, could do with updating. Does anyone feel in the position to write about collective trauma due to 9/11 two years down the line? Pete 10:48 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Psychological additions to this page

Hello,

As part of a university project, I have picked the collective trauma article to add on too. I plan to add onto the global impacts but with a more psychological and neurological focus of specific events, but this could be its own subheading about neurological impacts. I was also planning to add on a part about epigenetics and the biological effects of collective trauma. Another focus could be the PTSD aftermath and mental health links.

Thank you!

Lead too long?

I am just wondering why it is being flagged that the lead is too long, when it is only two sentences. Is there a way to remove that as one of the issues in this article or is the problem something else? MU0212 (talk) 13:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Hübl is a problematic source

The last part of this article builds heavily on Thomas Hübl. This is problematic because:

The quotes are not academic sources, not peer reviewed.
The sources are his book, a blog post, and a TED talk.
Thomas Hübl is not an academic.
He is a "spiritual" or religous leader with a huge following.
He is also not a non-profit leader, while he certainly started a non-profit.
Thomas Hübl ownes a business that makes a lot of money with his teaching. Most of the mention here needs to be considered free marketing.
Without being able to cite any academic criticism of his work, I know from psychologist friends, that his work is diametric against some academic research about trauma.

I would like to see this topic discussed by psychologist or other academics in a broader way. How can this discussion be initiated on Wikipedia? 62.96.232.178 (talk) 11:30, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with historical trauma

There seems to be significant overlap between these two articles, although I'm not an expert on this at all. Alexanderkowal (talk) 09:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
