Description:


In this groundbreaking new study, three leading researchers and
clinicians share what they have learned from treating and studying
chronically traumatized individuals across more than 65 years of
collective experience. Based on the theory of structural
dissociation of the personality in combination with a Janetian
psychology of action, the authors have developed a model of
phase-oriented treatment that focuses on the identification and
treatment of structural dissociation and related maladaptive mental
and behavioral actions. The foundation of this approach is to
support patients in learning more effective mental and behavioral
actions that will enable them to become more adaptive in life and
to resolve their structural dissociation. This principle implies an
overall therapeutic goal of raising the integrative capacity, in
order to cope with the demands of daily life and deal with the
haunting remnants of the past, with the "unfinished business" of
traumatic memories.
Of interest to clinicians, students of clinical psychology and
psychiatry, as well as to researchers, all those interested in
adult survivors of chronic child abuse and neglect will find
helpful insights and tools that may make the treatment more
effective and efficient, and more tolerable for the suffering
patient.
