Lithuania has a very complicated history, and it has been proven that violent historical periods have traumatic effects on nations. How can these effects of traumatic historical events affect generations today? This international conference titled ‘Dealing with the Traumas of an Undigested Past’ is the first large-scale international event of its sort, an unprecedented effort to try to ‘marry’ psychotherapy with diplomacy. This conference aimed to gain insightful knowledge and a better understanding of the various historical collective traumas internationally and to look for new and proven ways to help larger entities, such as nations to overcome their collective traumas and their consequences.
