Answer
B
The question asks for an example of "historical trauma".
- Historical trauma refers to the cumulative emotional and psychological wounding across generations, resulting from massive group trauma experiences such as colonization, war, or systemic oppression. Its effects are often seen in subsequent generations.
Let's evaluate the options:
- A) "A child's fear after a dog bite" is an example of individual trauma.
- B) "Intergenerational stress experienced by families affected by apartheid" describes the long-term, multi-generational impact of a large-scale historical system of oppression. This aligns with the definition of historical trauma.
- C) "Trauma experienced by a teacher after hearing a disclosure" is an example of vicarious trauma or secondary trauma.
- D) "Getting lost in a shopping centre as a child" is an example of an acute, individual traumatic event.
Therefore, option B is the best description of historical trauma.
The correct answer is B.
Intergenerational stress experienced by families affected by apartheid
