Case studies about Trauma
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an honest book about the failures and triumphs of object relations therapy with trauma survivors. Trauma cases discussed in this book involved medical traumas and incest traumas. The first half of the book is an explanation of the different forms of dissociation. It also talks about the pros and cons of evoking repressed memories of trauma. The author gives her thoughts on repression as well. The author doesn't go into too much details about object relations technique or how she thought it helped her clients. I took off one star for that reason. This book was touching, shocking, and at times very sad. It made me realize that people survive through trauma in different ways, and handle unwanted and negative emotion in different and unproductive ways; and I grew an appeciation for trauma survivors and a certain amount of sympathy.
