In order for lawyers and legal advocates to take a trauma-informed approach to their work with trauma survivors, they must have a basic understanding of how trauma can affect the ways that survivors think, feel, and interact with other people and the world. The articles in this collection provide information on the effects that trauma can have on the brain, with a focus on the impact of trauma on an individual’s memory. Rather than an exhaustive list of the research on trauma and memory, this collection is merely a starting point for self-study. Nonetheless, the articles in this collection provide a helpful framework for embarking on this endeavor, especially for those interested in the implications of this research for survivors involved in legal cases.
