Answer 1

Introduction- The word historical group trauma had raised by Maria Braveheart in the 1980s, according to her, Historical Trauma is a kind of psycho-social behavior that includes emotional and psychological wounding. It is most commonly seen through the various psychological problems such as anxiety, suicide, domestic violence, substance abuse, alcoholism, and abuse.

                The historical group trauma becomes a trans-generational condition, for example, an abandoned child might be seen across more than one generation.

Actually historical trauma is a disputed term because it does not qualify any distinct valid criteria of psychological categorization, a long time ago, it was considered as the collective behavior problems and sometimes racial and ethnic instincts modern way of intervention coined the historical trauma as psychological problems across the whole culture due to similar food, rituals, experiences, and customs.

The historical group trauma includes a wide area of deviated psychological behavior, it is an umbrella term so we need to see the problems individually. In my opinion, we should regulate the series of events and compare with other social and psychological conditions and characteristics.
