To my mother, who has been going through her own recent trauma
with the spirit and true determination
that she has always displayed throughout her life:
a role model for us all.

Epigraph

We are all responsible for the world we live in. Worldwide, clinicians are forging bonds that transcend countries and ideologies. Bonds that can help heal the trauma and pain that lead to ongoing violence and suffering. To make a difference that effects generations to comedont leave it to anyone else. We all have to take a part in it.

Francine Shapiro
