“The basis of man is to be seen and heard.” Now that psychiatrist and activist Glenn Helberg has entered what he calls ‘the fourth phase of life’, there is time to look back. Helberg is a pioneer in the field of transgenerational trauma and leaves behind a wealth of knowledge. With Pieter van der Wielen he talks about the pitfalls of dominant Western perspectives and the value of knowledge of indigenous peoples. How do traumatizing events, such as violence and oppression, affect the psyche and body? And what effects can these have on individuals and communities? About the importance of self-determination, the importance of being in contact and why revenge is never a solution.
