Book Description:

Consequences of Denial provides some awareness and understanding of the horrendous tragedy of the Armenian genocide. This book illuminates the little known fact that over two million innocent Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire between 1894 and 1922: a genocide that has been, and continues to be, denied by successive Turkish governments.

In this book, the author demonstrates the need not only for remembrance, but first and foremost for the acknowledgement of genocides, from government level downwards. Only by taking adequate steps at personal, group, national and international levels to acknowledge such massacres—and the trauma they create—can humankind attempt to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again. By documenting the psychological effects of the forgotten Armenian genocide and by linking these effects to cross-generational trauma and processes of response and denial, this book sheds light from a psychoanalytic perspective on an insufficiently researched aspect of this genocide.
