Creativity, Trauma, and Resilience is an examination of creativity and its ability to foster meaning, purpose, and a deeper sense of connection. This is particularly important for individuals who experience higher doses of childhood and adult trauma and who may be contending with the residual effects of terror and uncertainty. Paula Thomson and S. Victoria Jaque outline psychological, physiologic, and neurobiological effects of early attachment ruptures, childhood adversity, adult trauma, and trauma-related factors, and explore how the potential negative trajectory of adversity can be countered by resilience, self-regulation, posttraumatic growth, and factors that promote creativity.
