Tue-Anh Dinh-Van is a first-year MA student in Psychology at The New School for Social Research. Originally from Vietnam, her research background spans adverse childhood experiences, dissociative factors, and complex trauma in Vietnamese clinical and non-clinical populations, for which she presented at the International Society for Trauma and Dissociation conference. Drawing on a childhood love for Vietnamese history and an interest in psychoanalytic and mentalization-based approaches, she is now interested in how her country’s colonial past has shaped her people’s identity and collective memory—and how these in turn bear on epistemic trust and trauma response.
