Yochai Ataria describes how we are addicted to trauma and have become both its avid producers and consumers. Consequently, the culture in which we live has become posttraumatic in the deepest sense. This is apparent in the products that have shaped and continue to shape Western culture, ranging from the biblical sacrifice of Isaac to Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Ataria exposes the primary attributes of this so-called posttraumatic culture: sacrifice through action, an uncontrolled lust for blood, an inability to speak and describe things in words, a sense of foulness and alienation, emotional death, imperviousness, separation, and an overwhelming sense of exile. .Social psychologyPsychology and religionCulturePopular cultureSocial PsychologyPsychology of Religion and SpiritualityGlobal and International CulturePopular CultureSocial psychology.Psychology and religion.Culture.Popular culture.Social Psychology.Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.Global and International Culture.Popular Culture.362.1968521Ataria Yochaiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut765842BOOK9910254806503321The Structural Trauma of Western Culture1965584UNINA
