Outline of Final Research Achievements

Interaction of trauma and gender was analyzed from three dimensions: 1) psychopathology, 2) crimes and deviation, and 3) cultural creativity.
On the first dimension, the issues of “trauma and dissociation” and “trauma and body” were examined by conducting international research and cross-disciplinary conferences with clinicians and gender specialists. On the second dimension, we conducted research and educational activities on gender equality in criminal justice, prevention of sexual violence in educational settings, support for female drug addicts, and prevention of violence against sex workers. On the third dimension, creative aspects of trauma were explored through various art projects using the method of participant observation.
The results were presented nationally and internationally in the form of publications and internet distribution.
