The research into the phenomenon of cultural trauma is growing as the effects of historical transformations are recognized and analysed. The concept of cultural trauma and the analytic concept of the cultural complex is a suitable theoretical approach for this research. The Lithuanian experience of cultural trauma after the historical shifts indicates the importance of the interplay between societal and individual factors in coping with trauma. Academic psychotraumatological studies carried out at Vilnius University indicate a stronger traumatic experience by people who are survivors of direct political repression and even intergenerational transmission of trauma, but this group also seems to demonstrate an intergenerational transmission of resilience. Paradoxically, from a long-term perspective, the victims of direct repression seem to have suffered less than the people who accommodated to the regime, and this applies also to their offspring. Analysis in terms of overcoming cultural trauma indicates that society is gradually integrating historic traumatic experiences, although a healthy cultural identity has not yet been restored.

当文化失败时：应对文化创伤

随着对历史转变影响的认识和分析，对文化创伤现象的研究正在增长。文化创伤的概念和文化情结的分析概念是适合本研究的理论方法。立陶宛经历了历史转变后的文化创伤，表明社会和个人因素在应对创伤中的相互作用的重要性。维尔纽斯大学进行的学术心理创伤学研究表明，直接政治镇压甚至创伤代际传递的幸存者有更强烈的创伤经历，但这一群体似乎也表现出韧性的代际传递。矛盾的是，从长远来看，直接镇压的受害者似乎比适应政权的人遭受的痛苦要少，这也适用于他们的后代。从克服文化创伤的角度分析表明，社会正在逐渐整合历史创伤经历，尽管健康的文化认同尚未恢复。
