A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of Trauma
Imagine, if you will, a disease—one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.
In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.
With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a…

      DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. Accountability is the mechanism that ensures our commitment to the previous goals. It’s also our way to state clear expectations of others, especially those in positions of power—political and otherwise. The more we hold ourselves and others accountable to compassion in thought and deed, nonviolence, and the knowledge that comes from education, the more effective we’ll be in our efforts against trauma. It’s also how we can work together to build a world that reflects upon us better as a species.

        LEARN AND EDUCATE. We must commit ourselves to lifelong learning and also to teaching others, especially the children entrusted to our care. Ideally, this book has been educational, but it certainly isn’t the last word on trauma. We need to constantly examine our stories and thought patterns and guide ourselves with clarity and compassion. We also need to instill in our children an education that empowers their resilience to trauma. Education also means learning to see through the contrived and self-serving agendas advanced by others (often through ever-present media), especially when they involve attempts to justify trauma-inducing practices through religious, political, social, or legal arguments.

          TREAT OURSELVES AND OTHERS WITH COMPASSION. When Mahatma Gandhi advised us to become the change we want to see in the world, he wasn’t advocating for some magical caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation. Instead, Gandhi was guiding us to work hard to have more say in what goes on both inside and outside of us. On the surface, this goal might seem the same as the first, but treating ourselves and others with compassion involves more than thought—it takes action and presence in
          the world. And it’s more than refraining from generating more trauma; it’s about employing our compassion in practical ways to decrease the power and impact of trauma in the world.
