Scientific Paper 1: : 9/11And the India/Pakistan Partition: Trauma and Dissociation Speakers: Alan Roland, PhD (New York, NY), Author This paper adds new dimensions to the understanding of trauma and dissociation by exploring personal and patients’ reactions to the experience of 9/11, and by in-depth interviews with a Jain Indian family caught in a train massacre in 1947 during the India/Pakistan Partition. For the former, the emotional resonance of 9/11 feelings of catastrophe with a traumatic visual/emotional dissociated memory from 18 months old enabled it to surface; while for the latter, the train massacre and disappearance of the two youngest siblings has had ripple effects not only inter-generationally but throughout the family. |
