Our team is proud to present Volume 22, Issue 1 of The New School Psychology Bulletin. Given today’s climate of political unrest and cultural debates over women’s rights, we are grateful for those in academia who add to our understanding of trauma and its far-reaching impacts, as well as document the unique experiences of women. In addition to their shared themes of trauma and the body, these articles represent a range of methodologies and perspectives within psychology. 

Jiwani and Henritze describe a micro-phenomenological approach to increasing memory specificity among individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder. 

Graham captures the state of current research on the relationship between event centrality and post-traumatic growth with a systematic review. 

Lastly, Munguldar, Pang, Goffi, and Steele inform us of the roles of parental and cultural factors in women’s body image and sense of self with a qualitative analysis.

This issue also marks some changes within the editorial team. Rebecca Dolgin and Heleen Raes have stepped down from the team after several years of work on the bulletin, and we welcome Olivia Altman and Ethan Beberness in their place. Thank you to all those who contributed to this publication.

Sincerely,

Olivia Altman
