Traumatic Reliving in History, Literature and Film
Rudolph Binion
Traumatic Reliving in History, Literature, and Film explores an intriguing facet of human behavior never yet examined in its own right. An individual or a group may contrive unawares to repeat a half-forgotten traumatic experience in disguise. Such reliving has shaped major careers and large-scale events throughout history. Insight into it is therefore vital for understanding historic causation past and present. It has also proliferated in literature since antiquity and lately in film as well, indicating its tacit acceptance as a piece of life by the reading and movie-going public. It examines the evidence of history, literature, and film on how this irrational behavioral mechanism works.
