A LIST OF JEFFREY PRAGER'S PUBLISHED ARTICLES ON TRAUMA, ETC.

Jeffrey Prager is a psychoanalyst who works with young people in the LA area.  He also specializes in people doing creative work like movies and theatre.

"Understood psychologically, trauma is both an event outside the range of expected human experience and, occurring some time after the event, a collapse of inner psychological structure or fragmentation, typically an attack, as the contemporary psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut explains, when inner vitality, harmony, and cohesion of the self are undermined. Psychoanalysts take seriously this double character of trauma." 

Right.  So what “range of human experience” one expects, if it is broad enough, can be protective.  That is, for older people who have been through the Great Depression, WWII, car accidents, the deaths of their children and so on, trauma would be harder to inflict.  But for a child, who has no idea what is “normal” or a “range”, trauma is everywhere.
