This unique volume explores how individuals experience psychological distress through enduring psychological ties to people, places, and things, affected by violence and crisis. Remote Trauma Exposure introduces a compelling conceptual framework to explain how large-scale crises (such as war, occupation, and political unrest) can profoundly impact those physically distant yet deeply connected. These connections, whether personal, familial, or rooted in higher-order psychosocial dynamics, exacerbate individual vulnerability to psychological distress; especially when crises unfold in diaspora homelands. This work demonstrates how digital media and news coverage act as enablers of Remote Trauma, and how media mechanisms extend the reach of relational proximities to culminate in adverse psychological impact. Drawing on original empirical research and theoretical insights, this book fills a critical gap in academic and clinical discourse, offering health practitioners a new vocabulary and evidence base for understanding and addressing Remote Trauma. This book is an essential resource for psychologists, researchers, and professionals concerned with trauma, identity, resilience, migration, and global mental health.
