Parent yourself first : raise confident, compassionate kids by becoming the parent you wish you'd had
\"Many of us didn't have a perfect childhood. But that doesn't mean we can't be good parents. In Parent Yourself First, licensed family therapist Bryana Kappadakunnel argues that the secret to successful parenting is to UN-learn the unhealthy patterns you grew up with, so you can find a better way forward with your own children. Even if that means throwing out everything you think you know about raising a kid. As the founder of the popular Conscious Mommy community on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, Kappadakunnel explains that your upbringing is probably impacting your parenting style in ways you don't even fully recognize: from how you deal with conflict to how you praise them (or don't) when things go well. In Parent Yourself First, she shares powerful stories from parents she's counseled, in-depth research on the latest development in trauma and neuroscience, and guided exercises to put the learnings into practice. Her promise: it's never too late (or too early!) to transform into the parent you were always meant to be-grounded, present, intentional, compassionate, and confident. You can break free of past patterns that no longer serve you and shed generational trauma. Only then can you begin to truly connect with your child, understand their needs, and guide them to a happy, healthy life they deserve\"-- Provided by publisher.

Gendered Perceptions of Threat and Challenge during Regional Conflict: A Multi-generational Study of Holocaust Survivors and Descendants
Gender differences in wellbeing and trauma response have been a significant focus of psychological research, particularly among populations that have experienced extreme stressors, such as Holocaust survivors and their offspring. This study aims to explore the psychological impact of the “sense of threat” and “sense of challenge” experienced during the war in the 7 October aftermath (2023), with a specific emphasis on gender differences across different generations affected by the Holocaust. The study utilized a cross-sectional design to analyze secondary data. Research data were collected during the war in the 7 October aftermath. A total of 120 individuals, from three Holocaust cohorts (survivors, second-generation, and third generation) participated. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, as well as perceptions of threat and challenge, were gathered using the Stress, Appraisal, and Coping Questionnaire developed as reported by Lazarus and Folkman (Springer, New York, 1984). Females report a higher mean score (M = 3.36) for “sense of threat” compared with males (M = 2.85). Conversely, for the “sense of challenge,” although females exhibit a slightly higher mean score (M = 2.54) than males (M = 2.49), there was no statistically significant difference. The trauma of the Holocaust continues to afflict survivors and their descendants and is particularly pronounced during periods of extreme stress, such as war. Females exhibited an elevated “sense of threat” compared with males, which increases with each subsequent generation. Such insights stress the critical importance of incorporating a gender perspective in the design of interventions aimed at supporting trauma survivors.

Break the cycle : a guide to healing intergenerational trauma
When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends and colleagues. Eventually, this hurt spreads further, affecting entire communities and families across generations. This is intergenerational trauma. It can lead us to become people-pleasers, co-dependent in relationships and even estranged from our families. In this book, Dr Mariel Buqué delivers a guide to healing inherited trauma. Weaving scientific research with practical exercises and stories from her therapy room, Dr Buqué will help you understand how trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, break the cycle and disrupt the flow of intergenerational trauma with therapeutic exercises, and encourage you to pass on strength.

Preventing child maltreatment in the U.S
This book is part of a concentrated series of books that examines child maltreatment across minoritized, cultural groups.Specifically, this volume addresses American Indian and Alaska Native populations. However, in an effort to contextualize the experiences of 574 federally recognized tribes and 50+ state recognized tribes, as well as villages, the authors focus on populations within rural and remote regions and discuss the experiences of some tribal communities throughout US history. It should be noted that established research has primarily drawn attention to the pervasive problems impacting Indigenous individuals, families, and communities. Aligned with an attempt to adhere to a decolonizing praxis, the authors share information in a strength-based framework for the Indigenous communities discussed within the text. The authors review federally funded programs (prevention, intervention, and treatment) that have been adapted for tribal communities (e.g., Safecare) and include cultural teachings that address child maltreatment. The intention of this book is to inform researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and advocates about the current state of child maltreatment from an Indigenous perspective.

My side of the river : a memoir
\"Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez reveals her experience as the U.S. born daughter of immigrants and what happened when, at fifteen, her parents were forced back to Mexico in this galvanizing yet tender memoir. Born to Mexican immigrants south of the Rillito River in Tucson, Arizona, Elizabeth had the world at her fingertips as she entered her freshman year of high school as the number one student. But suddenly, Elizabeth's own country took away the most important right a child has: a right to have a family. As her parents' visas expired, they were forced to return to Mexico, leaving Elizabeth responsible for her younger brother, as well as her education. Determined to break the cycle of being \"a statistic,\" she knew that even though her parents couldn't stay, there was no way she could let go of the opportunities the U.S. could provide. Armed with only her passport and sheer teenage determination, Elizabeth became what her school would eventually describe as an unaccompanied, homeless youth, one of thousands of underage victims affected by family separation due to broken immigration laws. For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande, My Side of the River explores separation, generational trauma, and the toll of the American dream. It's also, at its core, a love story between a brother and a sister who, no matter the cost, is determined to make the pursuit of his own dreams easier than it was for her\"-- Provided by publisher.

Timely Mental Health Interventions in the Context of War and Humanitarian Crises as a Factor in Preventing the Long-term Consequences of Individual Trauma and Its Intergenerational Transmission
ObjectivesThere is a need to screen individuals requiring assistance, identify their specific needs, and determine predictors of the impact of war on their mental health. This will allow us to assess the burden of trauma and the mental health resources of people, with a focus on perceptions of support and recovery from the crisis.Materials and MethodsBased on the analysis and synthesis of the psychological needs of the respondents, we have identified of mental, spiritual, hedonistic and eudaimonic needs, leading the construction of a comprehensive pyramid model. A unique inclusive model of psychological interventions has been developed proposing four dimensions for future developments: theory-centered, phenocentric, method-centered and context-centered.ResultsThe timely intervention methods developed by us will enhance the existing conceptual framework of crisis and martial law psychology, providing clinical practitioners with essential guidance in organizing support for individuals affected by war. These methods will facilitate the implementation of effective integrated models of psychological therapy, counseling and support.ConclusionThe history of our country leading up to the critical year of 2022 is marked by numerous traumatic events, including national liberation wars, the Holodomor, and various forms of repression. These experiences have instilled an profound sense of sorrow and suffering within the national psyche. The prevalence of post-traumatic disorders, threats to mental health, and the risks of transgenerational trauma underscore the significant impact of the current conflict on both present and future generations. The importance of timely intervention methods increases in proportion to the depth of unique national images and archetypes embedded in the collective unconscious of Ukrainians which serve as vital sources of resilience for post-traumatic recovery.

Gaza’s hidden crisis: adults, children, and generations of psychological torment to come
For more than a year, the world has been exposed to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and the destruction, medical devastation, and the death toll of this crisis. What has been largely missing from the picture, has been an attention to the long-term mental health impact of the ongoing trauma among the Palestinian civilians and the Israeli hostages in Gaza. This article anticipates the enduring generational impact of war trauma on mental health of the civilians in Gaza, drawing from the author's clinical and research experiences of Iraqi, Syrian, Afghan, African, and Ukrainian war-exposed civilians, refugees, and survivors of torture. Across most different studies, war exposure leads to PTSD in nearly 30-50% of adult civilians, and similar rates of depression and anxiety. Civilians in Gaza, facing daily horrors and a profound sense of helplessness, are likely experiencing even greater psychological distress. Children, significantly affected during critical developmental stages, are at risk of long-term mental and physical health issues. The psychological, cultural, and epigenetic aspects of the intergenerational transmission of trauma can lead to psychological torment across generations. Addressing the mental health needs of these populations is crucial to mitigating the profound and lasting impact of war.

A Chronotopic Analysis of Transgenerational Trauma in Kamila Shamsie's Kartography
The 1947 Indian partition caused significant trauma for Indian Subcontinent communities primarily because many individuals were forced to leave their families and properties as they made the transit from India to Pakistan. Initially seen as altruistic, these immigrants later developed a negative reputation as outsiders and undesired refugees. Utilising Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the chronotope, this study investigates the ways in which the complex interracial relationships in the city of Karachi need to be contextualised through spatiotemporal perspectives in Kamila Shamsie's novel Kartography (2002). By deploying a Pakistani-specific modification of Bakhtin's chronotopes, this article intersects temporal considerations with transgenerational memory as it is mapped on both the physical and imaginary geography of Karachi. This article interrogates Shamsie's depiction of the racial and ethnic conflicts in a multi-ethnic Pakistan in the wake of the civil unrest of 1971, which led to the creation of Bangladesh, with after-effects that are inherited by the next generation. This article contends that estrangement in the novel exemplifies the ways in which immigrants of the second and third generations in Karachi experience transgenerational trauma owing to the legacy of colonial rule, which resulted in the 1947 Partition, through a research method derived from applying the modified chronotopic lens. The overlapping markers of race, class, ethnicity and the ensuing migration since the second and third generations were viewed as outsiders and \"Others\" in the host culture can therefore be connected to chronotopes from a spatio-temporal and post-memory perspective. Pursuant to this, this article explores the impact of identity axes such as gender, class, and ethnicity on experiences over time and the trauma of the Partition and civil war of 1971 across generations and the ways in which subjectivity is implicated in the different ways in which time and space are conceived.
