- Presidential Address
- Hidden Narratives: Sally J. Freedman and the Experience of Family Trauma
- Speaker: Nancy Nereo, PhD
- Discussant: Adrienne Harris, PhD
Judy Blume is the author of numerous popular books for children, adolescents and adults. This talk will consider Blume's most autobiographical book, Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself, a poignant exploration of the psychological experiences of a young Jewish girl in America during the immediate aftermath of World War II. In particular, we will examine the expression of intergenerational transmission of trauma that occurs within Sally's family. The discussion will be further supported by relevant clinical material that illustrates these processes in adult patients with a history of significant family trauma.
