Psychic Wounds
How art has addressed and transmuted trauma over the past half-century, from Louise Bourgeois to Glenn Ligon Trauma in all its forms--internal and external, individual and collective--has been an enduring theme in 20th- and 21st-century art. The proliferation of violent imagery, particularly since the expansion of mass media during and after World War II, has led to artworks that marshal consciousness of traumatic events and their cultural processing. These developments in art run parallel with the emergence of trauma studies, which confront the repercussions of traumatic events: the Holocaust, global conflict, sexual violence, systemic racism and gender discrimination. Psychic Wounds brings together artists from the mid-20th century to the present who have addressed trauma in their work. The book also contains an anthology of critical writings on trauma by curators, art historians and theorists, among them Robert Storr, Griselda Pollock, Huey Copeland and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Artists include: Gerhard Richter, Kazuo Shiraga, Louise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith, Glenn Ligon, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Carrie Mae Weems, Cindy Sherman, Bruce Nauman and Anicka Yi.
Art for Children Experiencing Psychological Trauma
Art for Children Experiencing Psychological Trauma aims to increase understanding of art’s potential to enhance learning for children living in crisis. In this ground-breaking resource, the first of its kind to focus specifically on the connection between art education and psychological trauma in youth populations, readers can find resources and practical strategies for both teachers and other school-based professionals. Also included are successful models of art education for diverse populations, with specific attention to youth who face emotional, mental, behavioral, and physical challenges, as well a framework for meaningful visual arts education for at-risk/in-crisis populations.
Sacred Conversations
This paper examines how two contemporary artists use the genre of artist's book to create divergent representations of personal trauma. I argue that Sophie Calle's Exquisite pain (2003) documents and experience of trauma through its beginning, middle, and end, while Francesca Woodman's Some disordered interior geometries (1980-1981) presents symptoms of trauma without cause of cure. A psychoanalytic application of Freudian and Lacanian theory leads to the discovery that Calle and Woodman produced representations of two exceedingly different forms of trauma: Calle's trauma is instigated by an external event and ultimately overcome through the construction of a fantasy, and Woodman portrays herself as a subject traumatized from within, whose very existence is marred by impossibility.
Frida and Me
In 1976 Nancy Weintraub was a rebellious teen who set out for Mexico, against her parents wishes, to study art and language. It was the adventure of a lifetime--until the bus crashed. Family, friends, doctors, and complete strangers battled to save her life. She appeared to be a miracle, but untreated PTSD nearly killed her. This is her true story.
Trauma and Mastery in Life and Art
The distinctive feature of Trauma and Mastery in Life and Art, and the reason it is illuminating and pleasurable, is the way it combines broad scope with living detail: it correlates unifying principles of aesthetic form in the arts, literature, music (for example, tension and release) with details of psychological and psychopathological attempts to master trauma. And vice versa: unifying principles in psychology and psychopathology (for example, turning passivity into activity) are correlated with the details of form in the various arts. Therefore, the book is as suitable for a survey course as for in-depth study, depending on a reader's inclination or a teacher's intent. Although of special value to those in the arts and/or psychology/psychiatry/psychoanalysis, the book is addressed to a general college or post-graduate level audience interested in the creative process.

How Trauma Resonates: Art, Literature and Theoretical Practice
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. What emerged from the 3rd Global Conference on Trauma Theory and Practice was a lively and informed view of the different ways our history, personal experiences, education, and forms of entertainment are shaped by trauma and its resultant interpretations. This volume comprises numerous academic papers concerning essential subjects in relation to trauma, from literary representations of and responses to war-related trauma, to the articulating of suffering and other traumatic legacies of colonialism. Key scholars, including Cathy Caruth and Ann E. Kaplan, are employed to develop these important research areas, as conference p...
Expressive and Creative Arts Methods for Trauma Survivors
With the increasing probability of floods, wars, and human displacement, there will be a great need for health care professionals to help. The arts provide a new, human, and cost-effective way to bring relief and to ease some of the human suffering associated with trauma.The editor, Lois Carey, presents a compelling rationale for the use of the arts therapies to work with trauma. First, it is now clear that traumatized children have difficulty using words to describe their experience. Drawing, play, music and other creative forms allow for an indirect expression that reduces anxiety, and they also help to establish a therapeutic relationship and an area of safety. The same is true for trauma...
