A fresh look at the importance of dissociation in understanding trauma.

A new model of therapeutic action, one that heals trauma and dissociation, is overtaking the mental health field. It is not just trauma, but the dissociation of the self, that causes emotional pain and difficulties in functioning. Trauma and Dissociation Informed Psychotherapy discusses how people are universally subject to trauma, what trauma is, and how to understand and work with normative as well as extreme dissociation.

In this new model, the client and the practitioner are both traumatised and flawed human beings who affect each other in the mutual process that promotes the healing of the clientβ€”psychotherapy. Elizabeth Howell explains the dissociative, relational, and attachment reasons that people blame and punish themselves. She covers the difference between repression and dissociation, and how Freud’s exclusive focus on repression and the one-person fantasy Oedipal model impeded recognition of the serious consequences of external trauma, including child abuse. The book synthesises trauma/dissociation perspectives and addresses new structural models.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Elizabeth Howell's work offers a bold exploration of whether contemporary psychoanalysis can adapt to trauma and dissociation-informed psychotherapy. Her scholarly approach addresses the longstanding debate between Freudian repression and Janetian dissociation, with a powerful reconceptualization of trauma as causing dissociation. This perspective has significant implications for the future of trauma therapy, providing valuable insights for both therapists and patients.
