Culture-informed Theory, Research, and Practice in Global Trauma Work

Lisa Tsoi HOSHMAND

Abstract

Wilsonˇ¦s article (2006, this issue) on culture and trauma in a global context provides a rich set of ideas for developing a framework for culture-informed trauma work by theorists, researchers, and practitioners. This discussion paper further addresses the complexities of dealing with trauma in international settings. The issues involved in crossing cultural borders are presented in epistemic, moral, and sociopolitical terms. An attempt is made to explore future conceptual work, research, and program development with an action emphasis. Suggestions are made regarding trauma training in Asian and other non-Western contexts.
