Trauma and the Destructive-Transformative Struggle: Clinical Perspectives

Editat de Terrence McBride, Maureen Murphy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2019

The impact of trauma can be both destructive and transformative. This important new book presents not only a range of theoretical frameworks through which different trauma can be understood, from the effects of childhood abuse to those of war and catastrophes, but also gives readers insights into how trauma presents itself in the consulting room.

In each chapter the author uses clinical vignettes and detailed case histories to discuss the multiplicity and complexity of the trauma involved, eschewing a simple binary conception of internal vs external forces. A wide range of topics are covered, including: the lasting imprint of early trauma such as neglect or abuse on subsequent development; the somatic solution involved in life-threatening illness; unmetabolized mourning and embodied memory; the vibrating relationship between catastrophic external forces such as intergenerational effects, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the lasting effect of war on combatants and their families.

Each chapter is screened through a different theoretical viewpoint, from Freud and Fairburn to Winnicott, Bion and Ogden, while the work of several contemporary theorists is also discussed. Crucially, the final section of the book looks at those issues faced by analysts when working with traumatized patients, highlighting the key idea of dissociation, the dilemma around empathy, and the factors that affect the patient's unconscious meaning.

Trauma in the Consulting Room: Clinical Perspectives on the Destructive-Transformative Struggle illuminates the resilience needed by both patient and analyst. It will be a vital resource for both clinical practitioners specialising in trauma and psychoanalytic researchers in the field of trauma studies.

Recenzii

"This book provides an excellent overview of current psychoanalytic exploration of the various forms of trauma. It emphasizes that when confronted with the traumatic effects of external destructive events, we must never lose sight of the multiple intrapsychic meaning of traumatic experience. Contributors provide us with new knowledge, and with their extensive clinical material they deepen our insights for treatment. The book helps the psychoanalytic clinician bridge the gap between the theoretical framework of trauma and clinical practice." --Werner Bohleber, Training and Supervising Analyst, German Psychoanalytical Association
"This collection of essays on trauma, broadly and deeply conceived, is a very welcome addition to trauma studies. The types of trauma being written about - to body, to mind, to infant, to social group - suggest how wide we must set our lens if we are to say something genuinely crucial and helpful to those of us who see trauma in the consulting room. Most importantly, this book exposes the wide range of theories and practices in which trauma work is being done. This marks a very significant shift in psychoanalytic theory and practice. Trauma work can be undertaken with care, with precision and with power, across different theoretical traditions. This is a unifying force in psychoanalysis, and I might say, is the deep message of this collection." --Adrienne Harris, New York University
"For all who are interested in learning from different clinical and theoretical perspectives, this book shows a vast array of well-regarded psychoanalysts’ experience in dealing with Trauma – ‘a wound that alters development, disrupts time, obstructs symbolization’, as stated by M. Murphy, one of the book’s editors. It’s really a compilation of a comprehensive psychoanalytic approach to trauma nowadays. I felt so enriched by this truly original and important work and would highly recommend it!" --Sergio Nick, Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychoanalyst, Brazilian Psychoanalytic Society, Rio de Janeiro, and Vice President of the International Psychoanalytical Association
"...the volume impressively illustrates the theoretical and clinical pluralism of today's psychoanalysis. The wealth and breadth of conceptual and clinical knowledge that psychoanalysis has accumulated over more than a hundred years of history deserves to be used to benefit those who suffer from the unimaginable pain that human beings can inflict on each other. The twentieth century, of which psychoanalysis is the child, has been called the century of trauma. The current pandemic and its social, political and societal consequences unfortunately indicate that we will continue to be preoccupied with dealing with trauma in the twenty-first century. As this highly recommended volume illustrates, psychoanalysis may indeed contribute to understanding and dealing with traumatized human beings and societies." - Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis (102)(2):435-439
