In "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia Conflict: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness", David Hoicka, an award-winning mediator from neutral Singapore, explores the profound impact of intergenerational trauma on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Hoicka offers a compelling argument for the critical role of mediation in addressing the psychological and emotional wounds that fuel the conflict and hinder efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperity. Mediation is a process where a skilled mediator facilitates dialogue between parties in conflict, assisting parties to creatively find options and alternatives to best satisfy their underlying interests, given the reality of their circumstances, and achieve peace, prosperity and happiness. In this book Hoicka analyzes how long-standing intergenerational trauma delays achieving peace in Ukraine and Russia, and provides workable solutions. By applying mediation to the Ukraine Russia conflict, while intentionally addressing intergenerational trauma, we facilitate resolving both Ukraine's and Russia's underlying interests to achieve meaningful peace, economic growth, and happiness. Understanding Intergenerational Trauma Hoicka begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the concept of intergenerational trauma, examining how the collective experiences of violence, oppression, and hardship can be passed down through generations, shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities. He explores the ways in which the legacies of Soviet-era policies, the challenges of the post-Soviet transition, and the ongoing tensions around language, culture, and national identity have contributed to the deep-seated mistrust and animosity that characterize the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In the context of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the concept of intergenerational trauma has become increasingly relevant in understanding the deep-rooted psychological and emotional factors that contribute to the persistence of hostilities. As a mediator working towards fostering peace and reconciliation, it is crucial to recognize the role that intergenerational trauma plays in shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities affected by the conflict. The Power of Mediation With case studies and practical steps, Hoicka demonstrates the transformative potential of mediation in breaking cycles of trauma and conflict. He argues that by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for dialogue, fostering empathy and understanding, and addressing the underlying psychological and emotional needs of all parties, mediation can help to build trust, promote healing and rapprochement, and pave the way for sustainable peace and reconciliation. A Path Forward Hoicka offers a compelling vision for the future of Ukraine-Russia relations, one that is grounded in the principles of inclusivity, dialogue, and mutual understanding. He provides concrete strategies and recommendations for policymakers, civil society leaders, and ordinary citizens to support mediation efforts and promote long-term peace and prosperity in the region. An Essential Read "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the role of mediation in promoting peace and reconciliation. Written with great emotional depth, clarity, and accessibility, this book is a must-read for policymakers, scholars, practitioners, and general readers alike who are committed to building a more just, peaceful, and prosperous world. To ensure broad accessibility, this book is priced affordably. It is my sincere hope that by making this resource widely available, it can have a meaningful, positive impact. If my book "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia" can save even one life or bring a measure of happiness to a single individual, I will feel a deep sense of fulfillment and happiness myself. I will be grateful to be able to make a difference through this work. David Hoicka
