This work presents an interdisciplinary analysis of psychological processes, focusing on post-traumatic structures and their socio-ethnological dimensions. Central to the discussion is the wanderer syndrome—a newly introduced clinical-psychological concept describing a unique pattern of post-traumatic adaptation marked by a distinct psychosocial rhythm and cognitive-emotional framework.

Using soldiers on deployment as a case study, the book explores how individuals affected by the wanderer syndrome face profound challenges reintegrating into civilian society due to their altered temporal and social rhythms. The author challenges conventional psychiatric diagnostics by proposing that the wanderer syndrome may represent an alternative mental phenotype rather than a pathological condition.

The text advocates for a comprehensive scientific approach that integrates psychological theory with ethnological and sociological perspectives, emphasizing individuality and context in trauma assessment. This volume offers valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and scholars seeking to broaden the understanding of trauma beyond traditional diagnostic frameworks.
