trauma, truth and reconciliation: healing damaged relationships

People do great wrongs to each other all the time, sometimes deliberately, sometimes accidentally. This book looks at how people, communities, and nations can address great wrongs and how they can heal from them--taking into consideration how differences in cultures, histories, and group expectations affect the possibilities for healing.
