Collective trauma in Ukraine: realities and prospects of the multigenerational legacies research

Abstract

Ukraine is experiencing a great upheaval - a large-scale war. This distressing situation affects the entire population of the country, therefore, beyond any doubt, the term "collective traumatization" can be used for today's situation in Ukraine. Modern research and study of the impact of collective trauma in Ukraine refers to the analysis of its negative consequences on various spheres of life, including the sphere of mental health: identification of the level of anxiety, psychological consequences, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorders. Although, the study of the impact of a powerful collective trauma on future generations Ukrainians needs timely planning and preparation.
