The authors describe what to focus on first in a complex therapy, and how to do it; how to help patients establish both internal and external safety without rescuing; how to work systematically with dissociative parts of a patient in ways that facilitate integration rather than further dissociation; how to set and maintain helpful boundaries; specific ways to stay focused on process instead of content; how to deal compassionately and effectively with disorganized attachment and dependency on the therapist; how to help patients integrate traumatic memories; what to do when the patient is enraged, chronically ashamed, avoidant, or unable to trust the therapist; and how to compassionately understand and work with resistances as a co-creation of both patient and therapist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRelational ways of being with the patient are the backbone of treatment, and are themselves essential therapeutic interventions. As such, the book also focuses not only on highly practical and theoretically sound interventions, not only on what to do and say, but places strong emphasis on how to be with patients, describing innovative, compassionately collaborative approaches based on the latest research on attachment and evolutionary psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, core concepts—fundamental ideas that are highlighted in the text in \u003cstrong\u003ebold\u003c\/strong\u003e so they can be seen at a glance—are emphasized.

Based on the theory of structural dissociation of the personality in combination with a Janetian psychology of action, the authors have developed a model of phase-oriented treatment that focuses on the identification and treatment of structural dissociation and related maladaptive mental and behavioural actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation of this approach is to support patients in learning more effective mental and behavioural actions that will enable them to become more adaptive in life and to resolve their structural dissociation.
