Whether the creation of trauma institutes will actually serve to limit the negative effects of trauma at the overall societal level is above all a matter of whether such institutionalization has reached the point of the onset of specific counterproductivity.

The trauma institutes that have passed that point will themselves become traumatizing institutes.
