The Children of Victimizers ~ The Invisible Legacy of Multigenerational Trauma

The Children of Victimizers ~ The Invisible Legacy of Multigenerational Trauma

ByJorge D. H. Prosperi

The trauma produced by inhuman victimization does not stop with the victims. The multigenerational trauma lingers on many levels and layers.

The threads remain connected between victims, the victimizers and their children.

Dr. Yael Danieli (clinical psychologist, traumatologist and victimologist) does not exclude the psychological trauma inherited by the children of victimizers.

That is, the needless trauma that Domestic Terrorists, White Supremacists, Insurrectionists and Hate Groups inflict on their children.

The trauma sowed unto others is reaped by the innocent.

The complete Columbine narratives are included in Experiences of Columbine Parents: Finding a Way to Tomorrow (available through ProQuest UMI AAT 3161558). Detailed explanation of my approach to research may be found in my text Interviewing for Education and Social Science Research: The Gateway Approach published by Palgrave Macmillan (2009, 2015).
I have made available stories of experiences of educators involved in mass violence events, including shootings, natural disaster, and terrorist attack, in my book Reclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma published by Palgrave-Macmillan (2012).
