Trauma: A Conversation with Israeli Author and Psychologist Ayelet Gundar-Goshen
Please join the Helen Diller Institute for Jewish Law and Israel Studies at UC Berkeley for a conversation with author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen and GTU Richard S. Dinner Center for Jewish Studies Director Deena Aranoff about trauma and healing. As a psychologist as well as a writer, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is currently serving as an emergency worker providing mental health support to the victims of the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians. Themes of her recent book -- on trauma, fear, antisemitism, aggression, confusion, healing, the importance of relationships -- will inevitably thread their way into the discussion as Ayelet draws insights from her gaze both as a writer and as a psychologist.
Please note: this event has moved to a webinar format.
