Lecture Overview:

The Long Shadow of Childhood Trauma: Perspectives from the Global South and Beyond.

Professor Soraya Seedat will discuss how childhood trauma and maltreatment are powerful and enduring determinants of psychopathology, and are associated not only with elevated PTSD risk, but also with more severe symptom profiles, complex presentations, and high levels of psychiatric comorbidity, particularly in contexts characterised by ongoing adversity, interpersonal violence, and structural inequality.
Yet much of the empirical narrative on early life trauma is shaped by data generated in high-income countries, with limited attention to contextual, cultural, and structural influences on exposure, expression, and outcome.

In this talk, empirical and conceptual work on childhood trauma, with a particular focus on research conducted in a global South context, will be synthesised.
