Description
Treating Trauma-Related Dissociation by Kathy Steele offers a comprehensive guide to establishing safety and working with dissociative parts in complex trauma therapy. Based on the author's extensive experience and supervision, this book provides an overview of the neuropsychology of dissociation and practical advice on assessment, prognosis, case formulation, treatment planning, and treatment phases.
Therapists will find valuable insights into how to help patients establish both internal and external safety, work systematically with dissociative parts, and set and maintain helpful boundaries. The book also explores how to deal with challenging patient behaviors, such as disorganized attachment and dependency, and how to compassionately understand and work with resistances.
Relational ways of being with the patient are at the heart of treatment, and this book provides essential therapeutic interventions to support therapists in their work. With its focus on best practices and practical advice, Treating Trauma-Related Dissociation is a valuable resource for anyone working with dissociative disorders.
