Existenzielle Perspektiven in der Psychotraumatologie (Leben Lernen, Bd. 329)

The Forgotten Dimension in the Treatment of Traumatized Individuals - An Innovative Approach in Psychotraumatology. A practical book with case studies of successful methods. The relatively young science and practice of treating traumatized individuals has made significant progress in recent decades, resulting in a variety of interventions, methods, and techniques. Without diminishing these successes, the author draws attention to a previously existing gap. For individuals with complex trauma, merely improving daily functioning is often insufficient. To regain vitality and relational capacity, it is essential for those affected to be able to discuss the existential dimensions of their experiences with their therapist or counselor. Questions about finitude and death, the meaning of life and goals, as well as fostering an accepting attitude towards fate, are topics of existential psychotherapy that are integrated here for the first time in a practical manner, with background considerations, examples, and exercises into psychotraumatology. This book is aimed at: - Psychotherapists of all schools - Trauma therapists - Physicians specializing in psychotherapy - Counseling psychologists.
