Disclaimers:

This web page is not a list of "recommended readings" in the area of trauma and cognitive science but instead the week-by-week reading list for one particular graduate seminar (with a particular focus) at the University of Oregon, April-June 1998, titled "Trauma & Cognitive Science" (for particulars see http://dynamic.oregon.edu/~jfreyd/psy607-spr98/). This list was formed as a collaborative effort between the professor and graduate student participants attending the graduate seminar. The inclusion of a reading on this list should not be considered an endorsement of the material. In this graduate seminar students actively critique readings during class and often engage in debate about the merits of a particular research program, theoretical position, argument, and/or reading.
