Social Trauma Between Psycho-Criminology and Psycho-Victimology

The phenomenon of violence has been fundamentally embedded in humanity since the beginning of time. If psychology advocates the study of the subject in a situation, considers its bio-psycho-social complexity, and defends a clinical practice that respects the individual in his/her singularity and subjectivity, our praxis sometimes remains deprived or undifferentiated when it comes to the care for the people who have suffered violence, because it hardly projects itself beyond the individual. How can this complex phenomenon be considered? New forms of social violence have made it possible to invent multiple forms of care, or at least to take into account the relationship of the subject towards violence, highlighting the impact of the framework on the therapeutic process and the reference to the law for the rehabilitation process. It is at the crossroads of the subjective, the social and the judicial that we define here the clinical practice of the act.
