This article uses two paradigmatic case studies to build on the theories of intergenerational and collective trauma to argue that dissociation should be a key target of prevention strategies for gender-based violence. To illustrate this point, we draw on the life histories of two Australian grandmothers, Kylie and Louise, who described how abuse in early childhood shaped their experiences of violence in adulthood, which in turn impacted their children and, consequently, their grandchildren.

Objectives: To explore the experience of post-traumatic growth among parents of children with biliary atresia undergoing living-related liver transplantation.

Methods: Participants were recruited within 2 weeks of their child's transplant surgery using purposive sampling. Transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's descriptive analysis framework, with collaborative analysis conducted using NVivo 12 software and a post-traumatic growth model.

Children are no strangers to war and conflict, and for as long as history has been documented, so too has the negative impact of war on children. Attachment theory, which has shone a light upon the ways in which early life experiences can impact individuals across the lifespan, is a helpful lens through which we can view the consequences of war. Similar to the aftermath of war leading to lifelong and transgenerational suffering due to deaths and physical health issues, attachment difficulties created during war further compound long-term damage.

Background: Maladaptive appraisals, such as thoughts about experiencing a permanent and disturbing change and about being a fragile person in a scary world, are associated with posttraumatic stress reactions (PTSR) for trauma-exposed children and adolescents. Less is known about what puts young people at risk for developing such appraisals, and the differential relationship between the types of appraisals and PTSR.
