contents THE TRAUMA OF COLONIZATION: A PSYCHO-HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ONE ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY IN THE NORTH AMERICAN “NORTHWEST” Lloyd Hawkeye Robertson Psicología self aboriginal colonization Historic Trauma community development This article examines two models of mass trauma as applied to the social conditions and history of an aboriginal community in the boreal forest of northern Canada. A psycho-historical examination of the colonial history of the community failed to uncover evidence of Historic Trauma as pathology linked to the general process of colonization in the Americas. While evidence emerged of a syndrome linked to attendance at regionally specific Indian residential schools, it was not clear whether this syndrome was distinct from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is suggested that the intergenerational transfer of this symptomatology would involve mechanisms of culture that impact self-construction. Community development is proposed as a method for improving local cultures. The use of psycho-historical analysis is recommended for future research. 2015 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28446020003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.3 Vol.49
