Why this is here
The clinical tradition that named the phenomenon, before the epigenetic turn. For QUESTION-297.
Read in its place
The work cannot be read here, so the record holds it at second hand.
Danieli, Norris and Engdahl 2016 (NOTE-1307) operationalize the handbook’s framework, TCMI, which Danieli set out in its introduction (pp. 1–17). The paper restates its core: identity as many spheres continuous in time, trauma as a rupture producing “fixity”, the conspiracy of silence, continuity against rupture, and survivors’ victim, numb and fighter styles. It tests them on 422 survivors’ children. It cites three of the handbook’s chapters (Auerhahn and Laub, Felsen, Solomon). At second hand, Engdahl’s ISTSS review of the handbook (Engdahl is a co-author here, so not independent) lists its populations and reports a chapter by Suomi and Levine naming three routes in animals: observational learning, parental behaviour and prenatal effects. Missing still: the handbook’s own text; Danieli’s introduction in her words; any chapter’s data; the non-Holocaust populations; and the chapter on animal routes. The review does not list Japanese-American internees, whom the LIT’s summary names.
