| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The experience of the Vietnam War provoked, first in the USA and later more broadly, strong clinical and public interest in invisible, psychological war wounds. In post-war Vietnam, however, the traumas of war had quite different meanings. At grass-roots level, these were focused on the sufferings endured by the human soul after tragic or violent death. This article explores the idea that memories of the violent past may captivate and continue to torment the spirits of the dead. |
