ABOUT APTIC 2025

Trauma studies have emerged as a powerful lens for understanding the human condition, transcending disciplinary boundaries and impacting fields as diverse as literature, psychology, sociology, history, political science, and even medicine. This burgeoning field has revolutionized our understanding of how individuals and communities experience, process, and cope with overwhelming events, challenging traditional notions of resilience and recovery.
