BOOK



Understanding and Healing Emotional Trauma is an

interdisciplinary book which explores our current understanding

of the forces involved in both the creation and healing of

emotional trauma. Through engaging conversations with pioneering

clinicians and researchers, Daniela F. Sieff offers accessible

yet substantial answers to questions such as: What is emotional

trauma? What are the causes? What are its consequences? What does

it mean to heal emotional trauma? and How can healing be

achieved? These questions are addressed through three

interrelated perspectives: psychotherapy, neurobiology and

evolution. Psychotherapeutic perspectives take us inside the

world of the unconscious mind and body to illuminate how

emotional trauma distorts our relationships with ourselves and

with other people (Donald Kalsched, Bruce Lloyd, Tina Stromsted

Marion Woodman). Neurobiological perspectives explore how trauma

impacts the systems that mediate our emotional lives and

well-being (Ellert Nijenhuis, Allan Schore, Daniel Siegel). And

evolutionary perspectives contextualise emotional trauma in terms

of the legacy we have inherited from our distant ancestors (James

Chisholm, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Randolph Nesse). Transforming

lives affected by emotional trauma is possible, but it can be a

difficult process. The insights shared in these lively and

informative conversations can support and facilitate that

process.This book will therefore be a valuable resource for

psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors and other mental

health professionals in practice and training, and also for

members of the general public who are endeavouring to find ways

through their own emotional trauma. In addition, because

emotional trauma often has its roots in childhood, this book will

also be of interest and value to parents, teachers and anyone

concerned with the care of children
