Involuntary Dislocation will be defined in the context of losses of one’s onto-ecological settledeness across the systemic continuum of the intrapsychic, social and physical realms; therefore, not only phenomena of political violence and natural disasters but also psychological states of debasement are included. An attempt will be made to identify some key meaning-making processes that locate the individual and collective experiences of external devastating events. The engagement with issues of ‘trauma’ will be discussed critically, emphasising the importance of a wider approach of synthetic complexity where not only the pathology and deficits are acknowledged but also the strengths that have been retained are discerned and, moreover, the newly acquired strengths (‘Adversity-Activated Development’) are also appreciated, i.e. those positive gains that have been made precisely because of one’s exposure to adversity. The presentation will include vignettes and illustrations from field work and clinical practice.
