Dancia Andersonholds doctorate is in clinical psychology with a specialization in somatic psychology and Polyvagal theory.
Danica Anderson's important research adds to the fields of feminist psychology, psychohistory, and trauma healing through restoring women's cultural contributions.--Judy Grahn, author of Blood, Bread, and Roses: How Menstruation Created the World While the focus of this book is on South Slavic Women's transgenerational trauma healing, the implications are much broader. The author, Danica Anderson, developed a close relationship with these war survivors and delves deeply into their experience of telling these stories of courage and resilience. The long-lasting effects of both direct and indirect war experience are clearly exposed. However, this is balanced by descriptions of transcendence and healing. Kolo, a traditional circle dance, plays a key role in this process. The influence of Danica's work goes far beyond the South Slavic Women. Just as trauma impacts later generations, healing is also passed to the generations that follow. Sharing the stories of South Slavic women and their traumatic experiences, as well as their path to healing, sheds light and gives hope to peoples around the world and through many generations to come.--Jeane Rhodes, author of Birth of Hope
