Hamburg, January 5, 2006
Dear Trauma Research Net Members,
Happy New Year 2006 to all of you!
I am pleased to present a TRN-Newsletter Special Issue 2006 with previously unpublished texts from a forum organized as part of the scholarship program of the Heinrich Boell Foundation. These four papers on the concept of trauma in psychology and cultural studies were presented in Berlin in 2004 and are now ready for publication.
The texts are available in German with English abstracts.
In a departure from the procedures otherwise adhered to by the Trauma Research Net, we have agreed in this case to make the complete papers available to all internet users without restriction.
I hope all readers will find the texts as stimulating as I have.
Best wishes,
Cornelia Berens
