Steuerungsprozesse in der Psychodynamischen Traumatherapie

Guidance for the Complex Process of Trauma Treatment

• New approach for working with traumatized patients
• Explains the methodology through case studies
• Cross-disciplinary concept for targeted therapeutic approaches

With her innovative approach, the author demonstrates that the restoration of self-structures destroyed by trauma is only possible within a relationship. It becomes clear how this relationship can be therapeutically shaped through the reconstruction of a coherent sense of self. In recent years, a number of techniques for treating trauma-related disorders have been developed, which are often applied in practice without an underlying treatment and progression concept. The author contrasts this rather technique-oriented approach with a different, relationship-focused perspective. The reconstruction of a coherent sense of self, which is lost during traumatic experiences, occurs in stages. The theoretical justification for which forms of intervention at which stage of processing promote the healing process is provided and illustrated with case studies.
