Abstract
- While research on the biological/genetic approach to trauma transmission has become increasingly abundant over the past 15 years, this research has been primarily limited to scientific research journals and has not yet significantly appeared in practice journals, graduate programs, clinical settings, or policy decisions. This paper aims to develop a bridge across disciplines, integrating a review of biological science literature with mental health literature to provide a multidisciplinary overview of the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the transmission of complex trauma. Such a multidisciplinary overview is important in allowing professionals across disciplines to approach their work with a more complete understanding of the way in which ecological systems shape trauma transmission and healing. While encouraging collaboration between researchers and providers across fields, this paper argues that to heal the person, one must first work to heal the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
