Trauma und die Folgen

What are the effects of traumatic stress? What exactly is trauma? And who is affected? Researchers now assume that nearly all of us are exposed to a situation at least once in our lives that can cause us to collapse internally. Most people manage to process the event reasonably well, even if it takes many years. But what happens when the event leaves deeper wounds, perhaps because it occurs repeatedly? How long can we endure and cope without suffering long-term severe consequences? This book addresses toxic, or poisonous, traumatic stress and its effects. Who and what causes this stress? What are its consequences? How does it impact a child's development? To what extent does it prevent the formation of a coherent self? In the revised and updated edition of her classic, Michaela Huber discusses the current developments in psychotraumatology.
