本文從位居於泰緬邊境的克倫(Karen)難民的經驗出發，藉由突顯他們社區對戰爭和療癒的概念與描述，探討現象學上有關戰爭、創傷和療癒的實境。這些克倫難民是緬甸的少數民族之一，緬甸的軍事政權自1980年晚期開展密集作爲，迫使這些難民離開家園。筆者在克倫難民營中進行不同的創傷療癒工作坊，發現不論克倫難民對其自身感到多麼痛苦，他們都可以說明及回應其對實境的集體意識，同時也可以在他們自己的療癒和社區發展中，成爲主動的參與者。

This paper explores the phenomenological realities of war, trauma and healing by highlighting community-based conceptions and descriptions of war and healing by Karen refugees, who are situated along the Thai-Burmese border. The Karen refugees are one of the ethnic minorities in Burma that are being displaced as a result of intensified efforts by the Burmese military regime since the late 1980s. Based on the output of the different trauma healing workshops that I conducted inside the Karen Refugee Camp, I discovered that no matter how victimized they may feel about themselves, Karen refugees are capable of naming and responding to their collective sense of reality and can be active participants in their own healing and community building.
