Understanding Trauma

Natural disasters and war draw attention to the suffering of countless survivors of world-historical disaster; more extensive, and yet less visible are the trauma and after-effects of non-public events. Rooted in psychoanalysis, this thoughtful and detailed book shows how much can be done for traumatized individuals, but also the complex and long-standing nature of their problems. Understanding the nature of trauma and breakdown is essential if treatment is to be effective and durable. This book describes all aspects of trauma, through the careful application of sophisticated and developing theory to clinical work ranging from a short series of therapeutic consultations to full analysis.
