title: Reconciliation and healing of a nation.
abstract: This article explores the effect of mass trauma and how it is dealt with both individually and socially. The question why the systematic massacres happened in Cambodia is addressed. Also covered is a brief history of the continual divisions in Cambodian society. The Cambodians have not come to terms with their tragedy or moved closer to the rest of the world. Some means of reconciliation are suggested.
