Trauma-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Book •
Trauma-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy presents a psychodynamic method for treating trauma by connecting present symptoms to earlier traumatic events and building a 'staging area' to step back from overwhelming states.

The authors detail how dissociation and defensive processes prevent linking past and present, and offer interventions to identify repeating trauma dynamics and alter maladaptive self-other representations.

The book integrates case examples and guidance for safely revisiting traumatic memories without retraumatizing patients, blending psychodynamic understanding with practical techniques.

It also discusses trauma-related defenses such as identification with the aggressor and the ways trauma can be unconsciously repeated in relationships.

The volume aims to provide clinicians with structured yet flexible strategies for helping patients process trauma within a psychodynamic framework.
