Description
Trauma, Guilt and Reparation: The Path from Impasse to Development explores the emotional barriers faced by individuals who have experienced severe trauma. It examines how feelings of persistent guilt can foil attempts at reparation, locking trauma deep within the psyche.
The book provides a theoretical understanding of the interplay between feelings of neediness, fear, shame, and guilt, offering a route for patients to experience mourning and forgiveness necessary to come to terms with their own trauma. Illustrated by clinical examples throughout, it offers valuable insights into the process of healing from severe trauma.
Written by an expert in the field, this book will be of great interest to psychotherapists, social workers, and any professional working with traumatized individuals. A Foreword by John Steiner adds depth to the discussion, making this a useful resource for those seeking to understand and address trauma-related issues.
