This book brings the Western concepts of Psychological Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder into dialogue with healing notions of Tibetan and Ladakhi healing experts living in Ladakh, North India. A methodology for operationalizing the Western concepts for cross-cultural research is presented as well as its application in research. The focus of this work lies on the diversity of Tibetan and Ladakhi meaning patterns or socio-cultural key concepts and the way they relate to experience, health and illness issues as within the Western concepts of Psychological Trauma and PTSD. In cooperation with various healing experts from Tibet and Ladakh the author undertakes a cultural translation: this book provides an account of how different Tibetan healing-approaches correspond to or diverge from the Western concepts of Psychological Trauma and PTSD.
