It\u2019s the\u00a0word<\/a>\u00a0of the decade. \u201cA\u00a0major signifier<\/a>\u00a0of our age.\u201d \u201cThe\u00a0invisible force<\/a>\u00a0that shapes our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0\u201ctrauma\u201d? Although it occupies the cultural spotlight, its meaning has never been hazier. Can we bring it into focus?<\/p>\n

\u201cTrauma\u201d derives from the ancient Greek for wound. According to the\u00a0Oxford English Dictionary<\/a>, this external bodily injury meaning dates back to 1684.<\/p>\n

Late in the 19th century, \u201ctrauma\u201d acquired a second meaning as psychological injury. In 1894, for example, the US philosopher and psychologist William James wrote of \u201cpermanent \u2018psychic traumata\u2019\u201d, likening them to \u201cthorns in the spirit\u201d.<\/p>\n

A third, figurative meaning emerged in the 1970s. \u201cTrauma\u201d now referred to suffering or adverse events in general. Just as \u201cschizophrenia\u201d and \u201chysteria\u201d originated as clinical diagnoses and later picked up new, broader senses, trauma expanded and became a metaphor.<\/p>\n

Trauma in psychology and psychiatry<\/h4>\n

In the mental health disciplines, the definition of trauma has followed a\u00a0winding path<\/a>. In 1952\u2019s first edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), it referred exclusively to physical injury.<\/p>\n

No diagnosis corresponding to the psychological meaning of \u201ctrauma\u201d appeared until 1980, when DSM-III introduced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n

DSM-III listed an array of PTSD symptoms and a definition of the kind of traumatic events responsible for them. For a diagnosis to be made, the event would have to evoke significant distress in almost everyone and be \u201coutside the range of usual human experience\u201d.<\/p>\n

Controversially, later editions of the DSM\u00a0loosened this criterion<\/a>. For example, events that were indirectly witnessed \u2013 rather than directly experienced \u2013 came to be included. Emphasis shifted from an event\u2019s objective severity to the subjective distress it caused. Consequently, a wider range of experiences became traumatic.<\/p>\n

These changing rules for diagnosing PTSD point to a fundamental ambiguity in the psychiatric meaning of \u201ctrauma\u201d. It can refer to a harmful event, as when a catastrophe is described as a trauma. But it can also name the event\u2019s psychological impact, as when a person is said to suffer from trauma.<\/p>\n

As a result, \u201ctrauma\u201d awkwardly straddles the objective and the subjective, cause and effect.<\/p>\n

The everyday uses of \u2018trauma\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The public has embraced \u201ctrauma\u201d and run with it. As a\u00a0recent review<\/a>\u00a0observed, \u201cthe definition of trauma is more restricted in clinical psychology and psychiatry than in common parlance\u201d.<\/p>\n

Studies find that people define a\u00a0wider range of adversities<\/a>\u00a0as traumas than the DSM, stretching the concept from so-called \u201cbig-T\u201d traumas to relatively \u201csmall-t\u201d traumas. For example, they extend it to experiencing poor housing conditions and street harassment.<\/p>\n

Social media is implicated in these broadened definitions.\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0videos commonly describe minor embarrassments as traumas (for example, \u201cI sat in chocolate and didn\u2019t realise\u201d) and innocuous experiences, such as mind-wandering, as signs of it.<\/p>\n

Some of these uses are tongue-in-cheek and knowing. They poke fun at broad definitions (for example, \u201ctrauma is when you open the cookie tin to find sewing materials\u201d). In the same spirit, participants in a recent\u00a0Irish study<\/a>\u00a0were ambivalent about such definitions, \u201cwelcoming trauma\u2019s de-stigmatisation but deploring its potential trivialisation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Benefits and costs of broad definitions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This ambivalence points to a backlash against expansive definitions, but that backlash carries risks. Trivialising trauma may be wrong, but people\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0be harmed by events that are not \u201cbig-T\u201d traumatic. Those who have experienced adversity deserve compassion whether or not their experiences meet diagnostic benchmarks.<\/p>\n

People who question the concept creep of \u201ctrauma\u201d are sometimes accused of lacking compassion, glossing over adversity and policing language. If someone wants to describe their experience as traumatic, who are you to invalidate them?<\/p>\n

However, some objections to the inflation of \u201ctrauma\u201d are legitimate and grounded in compassionate concern. Holding a broad definition may harm people.<\/p>\n

One study<\/a>\u00a0found that people induced to hold such a definition experienced more distress and intrusive thoughts after viewing a confronting video clip than those induced to hold a narrow one.\u00a0Another<\/a>\u00a0showed that people who held broader trauma concepts were more distressed by an upsetting clip.<\/p>\n

Perceiving something to be traumatic may contribute to making it so. Attributing distress to trauma implies that the injury we have suffered is enduring, indelible, overwhelming and identity-defining.<\/p>\n

For the writer Will Self,\u00a0trauma has become<\/a>:<\/p>\n

the idea that certain species of experience have the ability to injure us in lasting ways, such that we carry the wound \u2013 and, indeed, the experience itself \u2013 forever with us, often without our even knowing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Understanding the cause of our suffering in this way \u2013 beyond our control, permanent and profoundly impactful \u2013 is the opposite of what is likely to promote recovery. It is a pattern associated with depression and\u00a0hopelessness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another reason to resist the expansion of \u201ctrauma\u201d is conceptual clarity. If all adversities become trauma, and all distress is ascribed to it, the concept becomes a blunt instrument. \u201cBig-T\u201d trauma is already widespread \u2013\u00a0three quarters<\/a>\u00a0of Australian adults have experienced such an event, such as a life-threatening car crash or the unexpected death of a loved one \u2013 without diluting it with small-t troubles.<\/p>\n

The expansive view of trauma promotes the increasingly popular view that distress can be explained by adverse life experiences alone. The idea we should move from asking what\u2019s wrong with people to\u00a0what happened<\/a>\u00a0to them sounds humane, but it can lead to simplistic trauma determinism.<\/p>\n

Life experiences matter, but they\u2019re not all that matters. Only\u00a04% of people<\/a>\u00a0who experience a DSM traumatic event develop PTSD, for example. Many biological, psychological and cultural factors play a role in mental ill health, not just traumatic experiences.<\/p>\n

Questioning the expansion of \u201ctrauma\u201d is essential if we are to avoid diluting and misusing the concept. This expansion is driven by benevolent societal trends but it has a downside. At this cultural moment, when \u201ctrauma\u201d is everywhere, we need to think clearly and critically about it.<\/p>\n
