Description
Object Relations in Severe Trauma Psychotherapy of the Sexually Abused Child by Stephen Prior provides a sensitive understanding of childhood traumatization and offers a conceptual framework for treating patients who have suffered from it. The author identifies four basic relational patterns that can occur in the lives of abused children, including reliving abusive relationships, identification with the aggressor, masochistic self-blame, and seeking object contact through sex or violence. These patterns are held together by a profound fear of falling into primitive states of unrelatedness and consequent annihilation anxiety. By exploring these relational dilemmas, Dr. Prior offers a technical framework for therapists to understand and address the complex psychological needs of traumatized children and adults.
