Death of a leader: The social construction of bereavement

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The concept of trauma has been widely studied, both in the short-and long-term effects of adversities on individuals, families, and communities (Figley, 1988; Kleber and Brom, 1992). Trauma involving an entire nation has been little explored. A national trauma is defined as a singular catastrophic event that has a pervasive effect on the whole nation. Compared to adversities that befall individuals or families, national catastrophes have been less examined because: 1 Individual and family traumatic events by and large outnumber national traumatic events.xs
