Wish I could come to hear Nancy Goodman et al. As viewable on http://www.childrenspsychological.org, I’ve been developing and presenting a “Unifying New Theory of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder” since 1990, and have concluded from close reviews of several hundred videotaped interviews that many of the unconsciously performed behavioral symptoms of PTSD are a means of “bearing witness”. The species as a whole gains much the victims’ behavioral information, especially from the avoidant and non-lethal partial enactments of traumatic events. The disorder may contribute to gene-pool survival, as certainly “the Power of Conscious Witnessing” can do. Congratulations to this team.
