Beyond the Trauma Vortex
The Media's Role in Healing Fear, Terror, and Violence |
| Today, viewers of all ages are confronted with non-stop images of war and terrorism, and aggression and suffering as both news and entertainment. The author proposes collaboration between the media, helping professionals, and trauma researchers to stem the tide of trauma. The media, Ross suggests, can use its influence to promote messages of peace over violence and be used as a tool in the restoration and rebuilding of wounded psyches, communities, and nations. Convincing media professionals to apply healing tools to their own lives can create positive cycles that will benefit everyone. |
