Book Launch: Healing and Peacebuilding After War - Transforming Trauma in Bosnia and Herzegovina

You are invited to a multidisciplinary conversation with the editors and authors of this book about the roots and mechanisms of trauma created by war.

This book begins with a simple premise: trauma that is not transformed is transferred. Drawing on insights from academics, peace practitioners and trauma experts, we examined the limitations of our current strategies for promoting healing and peacebuilding after war while offering inroads into best practices to prevent future violence through psychosocial trauma recovery and the healing of memories. Collectively, the book’s authors provide strategic recommendations to policymakers, peace practitioners, donors and international organizations engaged in work in Bosnia and Herzegovina – strategies that can be applied to other countries rebuilding after war.
