"Developmental Religious Trauma in the Familial Setting: Imagination or Experience?"

Presenter: Gillian Harvey, PhD (Therapeutic Counsellor & Researcher)

The Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR) hosted the International eConference on Religious Trauma, which brought together specialists, psychiatrists, and researchers from all over the world to discuss the causes of religious trauma, as well as its manifestations and treatment options for those afflicted with the sometimes adverse effects associated with religion.

The purpose of this multidisciplinary virtual conference was to advance the clinical and psychological understanding of religious trauma. The presentations like this one provided an interdisciplinary platform for scholars, educators, and practitioners to present their research to international audiences from all different backgrounds. And because the virtual conference was held online, scholars and students can view each of the presentations from the comfort and safety of their own home.
