Psychological Growth After Trauma is a guide to moving away from assumptions about trauma as a simple form of ‘psychological damage.’ Each chapter promotes an understanding of difficult experiences as learning opportunities that help us attune to the reality of existence and become more at ease with the truths that trigger our anxieties.

The book holds close to a phenomenological stance in which understanding emerges through experience and reflection. This is not a book that argues for a model that practitioners would be required to adopt and impose on their clients. Instead, Psychological Growth After Trauma brings insights and explorations together, allowing the reader to build their own framework for understanding.

Arvustused

This book is an eye-opener for anyone who works with trauma. Understanding, practice, and investigation are all integrated in a brilliant and needed complement to the existing literature.

Alfried Längle, MD, PhD, professor of psychotherapy at the Sigmund Freud University, Vienna, and the University of Klagenfurt, Austria

The field of trauma studies often fails to consider relational and contextual aspects of trauma. Psychological Growth After Trauma seeks to correct that, exploring the experience of a variety of traumas, many of which frequently go under the radar. In all these contributions, the phenomenology of traumatic experience is foregrounded and should be a significant resource for therapists trying to avoid adhering too rigidly to the fashionable formulations du jour.

Martin Milton, professor of counselling psychology and existential psychotherapist
