This paper draws attention to a current impasse in the debate on the relevance of trauma relief. It traces the origins of the debate within the history of trauma research, the impossibility to describe trauma and tries to overcome the impasse by pointing to this impossibility, and by using findings from empirical psychosocial research that can accommodate the role of the social, cultural and political context on a structural level.
