Human rights violations and traumatic events often comingle in victims’ experiences; however, the human rights framework and trauma theory are rarely deployed together to illuminate such experiences. This edited volume explores the intersection of trauma and human rights by presenting the development and current status of each of these frameworks, examining traumatic experiences and human rights violations across a range of populations and describing efforts to remediate them. Individual chapters address these topics among Native Americans, African Americans, children, women, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender individuals, those with mental disabilities, refugees and asylees, and older adults, and also in the context of social policy and truth and reconciliation commissions. The authors demonstrate that the trauma and human rights frameworks each contribute invaluable and complementary insights, and that their integration can help us fully appreciate and address human suffering at both individual and collective levels.


Overview:
✓ Bridges the conceptual gap between an expansion of international human rights law and increased attention to treatment systems that incorporate trauma-informed care from the mental health community
✓ Examines how the key principles described converge and intersect in multiple and complex ways, applying a base framework to a broad range of vulnerable groups and communities
✓ Highlights how a trauma-informed human rights framework can serve as an effective guide for assessment and intervention
