It is the foundational text, along with<em>&nbsp;The Body Keeps Score<\/em>, written by Dr. Herman\u2019s close collaborator, Bessel van der Kolk, for understanding trauma and how to treat it. Trauma is widespread in American society, not only among veterans that fought in our forever wars but in millions of homes across the country beset by domestic and sexual violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 in 5 Americans was sexually molested as a child. 1 in 4 was beaten by a parent to the point of a mark being left on their body. 1 in 3 couples engage in physical violence. 25% of us grew up with alcoholic relatives. 1 out of 8 witnessed their mother being beaten or hit. The consequence of this trauma is personal and social. \u201cIt impels people,\u201d Dr. Herman writes, \u201cboth to withdraw from close relationships and to seek them desperately.\u201d It results in a profound disruption in basic trust. It induces feelings of shame, guilt, and inferiority, as well as the need to avoid reminders of the trauma that occurs in daily life. Trauma compromises the capacity for intimacy. Trauma can dramatically reduce focus to extremely limited goals, often a matter of hours or days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It often engenders the survivor triad of insomnia, nightmares, and psychosomatic illnesses. Chronic trauma can result in a paralysis of initiative, feelings of apathy, helplessness, and depression, and it can see survivors to blunt the pain of trauma, engage in a variety of self-destructive behaviors, retreat into drugs, alcohol, and self-harm; including suicide. In short, repeated trauma forms and deforms the personality, especially when this trauma occurs in childhood. Trauma is of epidemic proportions in the US. The failure to address our trauma has grave individual, social, and political consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first of two parts, Dr. Herman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and co-founder of the Victims of Violence Program, discusses her book,&nbsp;<em>Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence\u2013 From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror<\/em>. Next week we will discuss her new book,&nbsp;<em>Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, I\u2019m a tremendous fan of your book. And as a war correspondent, and I\u2019m not alone, your book was incredibly helpful as we navigated our own experiences with trauma. In the introduction, I\u2019m going to read a couple of sentences and have you comment, you write, \u201cThe conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma. People who have survived atrocities often tell their stories in a highly emotional, contradictory, and fragmented manner, which undermines their credibility and thereby serves the twin imperatives of truth-telling and secrecy. When the truth is finally recognized, survivors can begin their recovery but far too often secrecy prevails, and the story of the traumatic event surfaces, not as a verbal narrative, but as a symptom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You spend a lot of time in the book talking about the various ways trauma expresses itself but I want you to begin there, that the narrative surfaces not as a verbal narrative but as a symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Yes. Thank you, Christopher, for having me on your show. And yes, this really takes us back to the history of studies of traumatic stress and the disguised presentation of trauma that manifests often as physical symptoms. And this was seen in men who served in combat: it was called shell shock. And it was also seen in women with mysterious failures of language, apparent paralysis, and even pseudo-seizures. And these symptoms were diagnosed as hysteria. And it was already discovered in the late 19th century that hysteria was the consequence of trauma. Those discoveries were made independently by Pierre Janet in Paris and Sigmund Freud in Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And both of them, by paying attention to women with hysteria and actually talking with them and forming a relationship with them, and asking about their childhoods, independently discovered that many of them reported physical and\/or sexual abuse. But that discovery was so unthinkable, if you will, that in the end, Freud retracted his discovery and concluded not on the basis of any data, but simply on the basis of the fact that the thought was anathema. That the women must have fantasized about this because actually, it was something they desired and\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; I want to interject because, in the book you make a point, the reason he retracted it was because it was so common. And you write that if his patient stories were true, and if his theory was correct, he would be forced to conclude that what he called \u201cperverted acts against children\u201d were endemic, not only among the proletariat of Paris where he had first studied hysteria but also among the respectable bourgeois families of Vienna, that this had political and social consequences that he wasn\u2019t prepared to confront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; That\u2019s correct. And it\u2019s also true that he couldn\u2019t confront it alone. That\u2019s something that I always tell people who want to work as clinicians with trauma or are going to confront trauma in their line of work, whether they\u2019re first responders, whether they\u2019re journalists, you can\u2019t do it alone. Don\u2019t do it alone. You will simply be re-traumatized yourself. If you\u2019re isolated, you will not be able to deal with it. And Freud was isolated. When he published his paper,&nbsp;<em>The Etiology of Hysteria<\/em>&nbsp;in 1896, he expected it to bring him glory. It would be like publishing in 1953,&nbsp;<em>The Structure of DNA<\/em>. And he called it finding the source of the Nile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And instead of bringing him glory, it brought him ostracism and shunning. And so he realized that this idea was never going to be accepted in the medical community where he was making a name for himself and he couldn\u2019t fight that alone. So he basically retracted his theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; That gets into a point you make and I may be fusing your books but you write about how important the women\u2019s movement was to your own investigations into trauma. And at the same time, it was during the Vietnam War, you have these rap groups of Vietnam veterans. But you say that without these communal entities, work like yours is not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; I really believe that\u2019s true, and it certainly was true in my case. I joined a consciousness-raising group about six months before I started my psychiatric residency. And my colleague and friend, Kathie Amatniek, who was actually a classmate of mine, had been in Mississippi in the Civil Rights Movement during Freedom Summer. And she had seen there how powerful it was to bring people together in these groups called Freedom Schools to talk about their lives. She\u2019s the one who coined the term \u201cconsciousness-raising.\u201d She thought of it not only as a method of political organizing but as a method of scientific inquiry because she said, nobody knows the truth about women\u2019s lives because women don\u2019t dare tell the truth about their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And sure enough, the consciousness-raising group I was in was a bunch of white, highly-educated, privileged women. But even in this group, there were stories of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and domestic abuse. There were a lot of reports of violence and we understood this as a method, of course, of control: the method by which ultimately any group that dominates another group has to use to preserve their power and control. So when I started my residency, here I was a brand new psychiatrist in training and my very first two patients, on the inpatient service where I began my training, were women who\u2019d made very serious suicide attempts and been hospitalized. And what do you know, both of them gave histories of father-daughter incest. Well\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; \u2013Let me stop you there because you write in the book that until work like yours was done, the traditional view was it was one in a million. Do I have that right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Yes. You have that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; One in a million women had suffered incest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; All forms of incest. But that was the comprehensive textbook of psychiatry, which was the basic text. If that were true, what do you think the odds would be, that a brand-new rookie would see two cases in two weeks? So something was off there. And then as I began talking to colleagues, I began collaborating with a young psychologist named Lisa Hirschman who had gotten her doctorate. And she was seeing incest survivors in her practice. And by asking around among the few people we knew, we collected 20 cases. So if we hadn\u2019t had the women\u2019s movement behind us, we wouldn\u2019t have dared to publish our findings because who were we to contradict these authorities? And not only that but I doubt that any psychiatric journal would\u2019ve published our findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; Well, do I remember from the book, it wasn\u2019t that easy for you to publish your findings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Well, no. We got it accepted in a brand new women\u2019s studies journal called&nbsp;<em>Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society<\/em>. But academic journals take a long time to publish things even after they\u2019ve accepted them. And during the year or so between when we submitted our paper and when it was finally published, we got letters from all over the country. It had been passed hand to hand and copied. And women started writing to us saying, I thought I was the only one, or, I thought nobody would believe me. So that\u2019s when we realized, no, this was real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; I want to ask about that because one of the most interesting parts of the book for me was how that chronic trauma is so severe and how it manifests itself in ways that we wouldn\u2019t expect. But I\u2019d also want to say before that, when you talk about hysteria, that\u2019s something I saw in the war zone. I saw soldiers shake without being able to stop. I saw them unable to speak. I saw in El Salvador, one soldier had a case of blindness but in fact, there was nothing wrong with his eyes. So that term is fair, which we often use towards women, it was rife within war. I was fascinated with how women who suffer incest, abuse will actually try and be protective of their abuser, blame themselves. The psychological masochism is overwhelming. I want you to talk about that because it\u2019s counterintuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Yes, it is counterintuitive, except if you consider it from the child\u2019s point of view. The child is faced with an impossible dilemma. First of all, she\u2019s helpless and unable to escape. There\u2019s no way to resist. She may have tried to seek help from the non-abusive parent, usually the mother. But one of the things we found in our incest study was that one of the most frequent concomitants of incest was domestic violence. So the mothers were battered or otherwise rendered helpless themselves. Some of them were physically ill. Some of them were mentally ill. In one way or another, they were helpless bystanders. And oftentimes also the favoritism that the incest perpetrator shows the daughter chosen for abuse made the other siblings and the mother resent this kid; she was given extra privileges and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so from the point of view of the kid, there\u2019s nowhere else to turn. And whatever tension and affection she gets, this is the price that she has to pay. Mentally she can understand this one of two ways: Either this is happening to me because I\u2019m bad. If I\u2019m bad, then I can try, and try, and try, and try, and try to be good. I can try harder and harder and harder to be good. And maybe if I try hard enough to be good, I\u2019ll be able to be loved for who I am without being abused. The alternative is, there is nothing I can do. This isn\u2019t happening to me because I\u2019m bad; this is happening because this is the choice he has made. And that\u2019s unbearable. That means there\u2019s no hope. There\u2019s nothing to be done. This is you\u2019ve been abandoned by God and by fate. And so for many kids who are being abused in this way, though it\u2019s counterintuitive, it\u2019s better to blame herself or himself than to put the blame where it belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; I want to ask about traumatic memories. You write, \u201cThey lack verbal narrative and context. Rather, they are encoded in the form of vivid sensations. Robert Jay Lifton, who studied survivors of Hiroshima, civilian disasters, and combat, describes the traumatic memory as an indelible image or death imprint.\u201d Can you explain that idea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Actually, Pierre Janet had a very good way of describing the difference between traumatic memory and normal memory. He said normal memory is the action of telling a story. And it\u2019s verbal, it is flexible. Over time you can tell the two-minute version of it or the 20-minute version of it. So you can retrieve it when you want to. And you can put it back when you\u2019re done with it. And you can make meaning of it. He says it doesn\u2019t really count as a memory until we have integrated it into our life story and made it a part of a bigger narrative and made some meaning out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traumatic memory doesn\u2019t have any of those features. Rather than verbal, it\u2019s very sensory. People will describe the smells, the sounds, the physical sensations they had, whether it was dark or light, that sort of thing. If you remember the recent Senate hearings for the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh, or as I call them, the Ayatollahs: Ayatollah Kavanaugh\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; \u2013We have two sex offenders on the Supreme Court, so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; That we know of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; That we know of. Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Christine Blasey Ford, Professor Ford was challenged because she couldn\u2019t name the date or the location of the party where she was attacked. But what she said she remembered most specifically was the laughter, that these boys were laughing as they had her pinned to the bed and with her mouth covered and smothering her. And that\u2019s the trauma memory that\u2019s not mutable in time. And it comes when you don\u2019t want it and you can\u2019t necessarily retrieve it when you do want it. So in all those regards, traumatic memory is very different from normal memory. And part of the work of recovery is transforming that death imprint, if you will, into a living narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; Since you touched on it, let\u2019s talk about male groups. You talk about these private forms of chronic abuse as being, it may not be exactly a word, small tyrannies, but you liken it to a tyrannical structure of a state. And you write about how in a tyranny there is a hierarchy, religious, military, whatever, that profits off of the abuse. And then you write about how we have these hyper-masculine, tyrannical structures, fraternities on college campuses, eating clubs at Harvard, where you\u2019ve taught. And my son was an athlete at Colgate. He heard about this abuse, which was common among fraternities. He\u2019s a journalist. He wrote it up in the school paper and the response was fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alumni came down on him like an avalanche. He got all sorts of death threats. He couldn\u2019t go downtown on the weekends when the kids got drunk. But what was even more chilling was how the administration went after him to cover it up. And I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything uncommon about that. These groups \u2013 And you write about it and I\u2019ll let you explain \u2013 They not only embrace but they perpetuate this abuse. The military is rife with this stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Of course. In general, all-male groups, whether they\u2019re fraternities, sports teams, the military, and so on, first of all, they enforce this dominant hierarchy with their own quite sadistic initiation rights. So the pledges have to basically go through a symbolic death and sometimes literal death. There\u2019s an anthropologist named Peggy Reeves Sanday who wrote about fraternity gang rape as a tradition handed out from one group to the next. And she talked about the bonding ritual where copious amounts of alcohol, being beaten, and having to do dangerous things like go out on a roof when you\u2019re drunk. And then of course, vomiting and having to clean up vomit and excrement and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then once you\u2019ve submitted to that ritual, you have broken the bond of the young man to his mother and re-bonded to the fraternity, to the male group. And indeed, we have lots of data now that indicate that in those all-male environments like fraternities, people who belong to those groups are much more likely than others to commit sexual assault. And indeed, some of them are planned and rules set aside for the purpose after parties\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; \u2013It\u2019s also self-selecting. I wouldn\u2019t let these people tell me to do that. So what you\u2019re doing is getting, essentially through that initiation process, getting people who are willing to subsume themself into the group and into that hierarchy. And in the military and the elite units in particular, this hazing is horrific. And overseas there are a lot of suicides. And anecdotally \u2014 I was with the Marine Corps \u2014 Most of the suicides were people who had been hazed, and hazed, and hazed, and ostracized. And they would punish them. There was actually a term called \u201cbitch for a day\u201d and all this stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then they\u2019d go in the porta potties and blow their brains out. You\u2019re right about it. It\u2019s a very dark undercurrent in American society and one that is so ingrained in the society all the way up, of course, to the Supreme Court nominee hearings, we don\u2019t even speak about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; Well, because it really is also a very privileged group. And so people are willing to submit to the cruelties because of the many benefits that are promised. And for example, at Harvard, at my university, the final clubs, which are the equivalent of fraternities, are, well, I\u2019ve heard that they\u2019re called the final clubs because they are the final step of admission into the elite of the elite. Teddy Roosevelt was in the Porcellian Club. FDR was only in the Fly, that\u2019s second. And JFK was in the Spee. But they\u2019re rumored on campus to have the best parties. And of course, once you\u2019re in the club, your social network is the ruling class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so to Harvard\u2019s credit, I\u2019d have to say, when Drew Faust was president, she appointed a committee to look into the issue of rape on campus. And they produced a report that said, male-dominated spaces are high-risk environments and we have to do something to change the culture of the campus. And they actually tried to set some limits on the final clubs, which are separately incorporated. They\u2019re not part of Harvard. And the limits were pretty tame. If you were a member of a final club that refused to integrate, they gave them all a chance to go co-ed, those that refused, you couldn\u2019t be recommended for Rhodes Scholar or you couldn\u2019t get certain Harvard privileges. And guess what? The final clubs sued Harvard for sex discrimination. And that was the end of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; Well, you note in the book that in the end, not much changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith Herman<\/strong>:&nbsp; No, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris Hedges<\/strong>:&nbsp; Great.
