Rehabilitation literature, a genre deeply intertwined with trauma narratives, probes the intricate workings of the human psyche under extreme duress and subsequent recovery processes. This paper critically examines how such literature constructs, deconstructs, and reconstructs human identity and agency through the lens of psychological resilience and vulnerability. Drawing from seminal works and modern interpretations, the study evaluates the ethical, social, and therapeutic implications of representing trauma. Special attention is paid to the interrelationship between memory, identity, and healing as portrayed in this literature. This discourse not only illuminates the literary value of rehabilitation narratives but also underscores their sociocultural relevance
in addressing contemporary issues such as PTSD, displacement, and systemic oppression.
