O Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma e a Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal anunciam o grupo de jornalistas selecionados para o primeiro Seminário da Universidade de Columbia sobre Primeira Infância para Editores Brasileiros, a ser realizado de 23 a 25 de agosto no Rio de Janeiro. O seminário reunirá 23 jornalistas editores de alguns dos principais veículos de notícias brasileiros e de todas as regiões do Brasil.
O grupo selecionado se reunirá durante três dias para sessões informativas com especialistas e participarão de painéis, workshops e conversas sobre a importância do desenvolvimento de crianças de 0 a 6 anos.
"O desenvolvimento na primeira infância está recebendo mais atenção na mídia. Com este seminário, voltado para jornalistas de alto nível que lideram redações, buscamos expandir e aprimorar ainda mais essa cobertura. O tema é ainda mais crucial este ano, com as eleições municipais em todo o Brasil, nas quais políticas públicas que afetam crianças de 0 a 6 anos estarão em pauta", disse Bruce Shapiro, Diretor Executivo do Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma na Escola de Jornalismo da Universidade de Columbia.
Mariana Luz, CEO da Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal, acredita que é uma oportunidade para ampliar o debate sobre a primeira infância. "Após décadas de conscientização sobre os primeiros anos, é hora de levar o debate para o próximo nível. Adotar uma abordagem sistêmica, que seja tanto intersetorial quanto interfederativa, é o caminho mais eficiente para implementar e sustentar políticas públicas para o desenvolvimento na primeira infância. Uma reunião significativa de jornalistas experientes é um momento para envolver a todos nós em dar passos adiante", comentou.
O seminário faz parte do Dart Center's Early Childhood Journalism Initiative, programa lançado em 2017 para incentivar reportagens centradas nas crianças de 0 a 6 anos e em evidências científicas, que também consideram a saúde mental e o bem-estar dos cuidadores. Apoiada pela Fundação Van Leer (Holanda), Fundação Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal (Brasil) e The Two Lilies Fund (Estados Unidos), a iniciativa já treinou e apoiou mais de 200 jornalistas de mais de 50 países.

In this unique and revolutionary book, Dr. Shay examines the psychological devastation of war by comparing the soldiers of Homer’s Iliad with many of his patients, Vietnam veterans struggling with PTSD . Although the Iliad was written twenty-seven centuries ago, so much can be learned about combat trauma, especially when it is threaded through the compelling voices and experiences of Vietnam vets.
Journalists under Fire: The Psychological Hazards of Covering War
War journalists, like all who have prolonged exposure to violence, come home emotionally maimed and often broken. And yet, a news culture in denial has pretended that war journalists are immune from trauma. This fit into the macho culture of war journalism. It also assuaged the consciences of those running news organizations, who often crumple up and discard, years later, those they send to war. Dr. Feinstein has provided us with research that is a chilling reminder that war journalists are human, as well as a searing indictment of major news conglomerates who have refused to acknowledge or address the suffering of their own.

In this long-awaited memoir, Lifton charts the adventurous and surprising course of his fascinating life journey, one that took him from what he refers to as, "a Jewish Huck Finn childhood in Brooklyn, to deep and meaningful friendships with many of the most influential intellectuals, writers, and artists of our time—from Erik Erikson, David Riesman, and Margaret Mead, to Howard Zinn and Kurt Vonnegut, Stanley Kunitz, Kenzaburo Oe, and Norman Mailer.
This work is more than a memoir, it is also a remarkable study of Hiroshima survivors. Lifton explored the human consequences of nuclear weapons, and then went on to uncover dangerous forms of attraction to their power in the spiritual disease he calls nuclearism. Lifton writing illuminates the reversal of healing and killing in ordinary physicians who had been socialized to Nazi evil. Written with the warmth of spirit—along with the humor and sense of absurdity—that have made Lifton a beloved friend and teacher to so many, Witness to an Extreme Century is a moving and deeply thought-provoking story of one man’s extraordinary commitment to looking into the abyss of evil in order to help others move past it.

Shay makes an impassioned plea to renovate American military institutions and in doing so deepens the readers understanding of the veteran's experience.

Trauma Therapy in Context: The Science and Craft of Evidence-based Practice
This book examines several current clinical approaches to trauma-focused treatment. Rather than describe theoretical approaches in isolation, the editors have integrated these interventions into a broader clinical context.

Throughout, they focus on the real-life challenges that arise in typical therapy sessions to deepen our understanding and application of evidence based interventions.

The Boston Globe called this book, "A powerful reminder not only of what happened, but of the monumental evil done by the particular human beings who were trained to heal and cure."
Based on arresting historical scholarship and personal interviews with Nazi and prisoner doctors, the book traces the inexorable logic leading from early Nazi sterilization and euthanasia of its own citizens to mass extermination of "racial undesirables."This extraordinary work combines research and analyzation to describe a seemingly contradictory phenomenon of doctors becoming agents of mass murder. With chilling literary power, Lifton describes the Nazi transmutation of values that allowed medical killing to be seen as a therapeutic healing of the body politic.
When Trauma and Recovery was first published in 1992, it was hailed as a groundbreaking work.
