The book explores the complexities of understanding emotions and behaviors in both everyday life and after trauma. It identifies two key challenges: the indescribable, which arises when individuals attempt to integrate profound experiences like heart attacks or differing mental frameworks, and the undiscussable, particularly in the context of generational trauma among Holocaust survivors and their descendants. By offering a new psychological framework, it aims to help both laymen and professionals navigate these issues, with particular relevance to societies transitioning from totalitarianism to democracy.
