This is a monumentally important book that I thought could not be written. I have known Pam Steiner for many years. Dr Steiner is an accomplished trauma psychologist. She has also over the years become an authority on Turkish-Armenian history and its group pathologies resulting from murder and genocide dating back over a century. She is also deeply steeped in issues relating to the divisions that plague Israel-Palestine. A key factor in these entrenched crises is how perceived threats to land and concepts of a homeland culture of religion and language sustain denials regarding what may have gone wrong in the past and resistance to suggestions about what might be done in the present.
