The Trauma of Killing

The US military continues to participate in one of the longest fighting strategies in our history. One outcome was an increase in the number of people suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) (2000), a precursor to posttraumatic stress disorder is the experience of events with serious injuries to actual or threatened death or to yourself or to others. Grossman (2009) believes that other factors, emotional and spiritual responses to kill other people will also cause a great loss in the mental health of the returning soldier.

Psychological trauma of murder has good record. I do not think it is unfair to murder to protect a large archer. However, I really want to know if a person who is willing to carry can withstand the psychological trauma of making such a hard decision if carrying is done.

Trauma that starts in Greek in the latter half of the 17th century literally means "scratch". According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, trauma is "harm to living tissue". However, unlike physical injuries, psychological trauma is not always easy to identify and does not heal itself. This is partly because the first and last response to trauma is usually denied or unbelievable. Even victims of trauma can hardly believe in their own pain or find a way to go forward. Herman wrote that "normal response to atrocities is to kick them out of consciousness", denying the horrible events and declaring intense conflicts between them has a strong dialectical relationship I pointed out. "Witnesses and victims are influenced by the dialectic law of trauma, speaking publicly about human understanding of atrocities is to bring disgrace to the victims."

The theme center addresses psychological and emotional issues people experience after "trauma". Trauma is understood as an event involving atrocity, violence, real fear, and / or other or near death and witness victims. Self death. Examples include rape, murder, torture, accidents, terrorism and so on. DSM explains two types of acute stress disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. These can be read with the link on the left side of this document. In short, acute stress disorder occurs within a period of only 6 months after exposure to a traumatic event, and posttraumatic stress begins at 6 months and then prolongs.
