Trauma and the Self: Combat Experience, Individuation and the Communalization of TraumaÂ
Roger Brooke, a noted psychologist and Jungian Scholar, addresses the treatment of combat trauma suffered by returning veterans.  He explores the phenomenology of combat experience and its impact on the individuation process as defined by Carl Jung. He specifically discusses core features of combat trauma, such as grief, rage, and nightmares – their meaning for the individual veteran as well as for the rest of us in the wider community. The community’s role in the warrior/veteran’s healing is emphasized.
