In this text, multidimensional phenomena of social trauma and its effects are examined and discussed within a psychoanalytic frame of thinking. Authors rely on their own experiences of working with patients who have endured social traumas such as severe human right violations and torture in providing some insights about this subject. Those insights are conceptualized through the lens of psychoanalysis and some new concepts are proposed to formulate the effect of social trauma and it's manifestations within the psychoanalytic setting. Apart from the psychoanalytic setting that is the room, the effects of social traumas are represented in cultural productions such as songs and films. Some specific examples, which are related to Turkey's history, are shared in the text. Different disadvantaged groups such as women, children and refugees suffer from the severe effects of social trauma in a particular way. Some thoughts on this subject are shared as well.
