From the reviews: "Hamber brings an acute clinical sensibility and sophisticated research mind to a complex problem: state handling of reconciliation after a catastrophic upheaval. his main focus in this book is the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process. a must read for any psychologist working with trauma survivors, especially postconflict trauma survivors. It calls upon a rich literaturefrom psychoanalysis to trial transcripts of commissions; it integrates all these sources to provide a truly unique contribution to the psychology of trauma." (Don Dutton, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 54 (47/3), November, 2009)
