The Inner World of Trauma: Archetypal Defences of the Personal Spirit by Donald

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Inner World of Trauma by Donald Kalsched Drawing on answers revealed to him through the dreams, fantasies and interpersonal struggles of his traumatised clients, the author shows how we can use the resulting enhanced understanding to help victims of early trauma. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This work is concerned with the psychoanalytic interpretation of trauma, with particular respect to the views of Carl Gustav Jung, the pioneering pschoanalyst, who focused on the role of childhood experiences in the development of a persons psyche. Donald E. Kalsched draws on his own clinical work, to show the value of Jungs insights into the inner world of the psyche in treating patients, especially those suffering from multiple personality disorder and post-traumatic stress. At the same time he proposes some revisions to Jungs theories in response to the findings of researchers and clinicians approaching the problem from different theoretical perspectives such as object relations and self psychology. Back Cover Donald Kalsched explores the interior world of dream and fantasy images encountered in therapy with people who have suffered unbearable life experiences. He shows how, in an ironical twist of psychical life, the very images which are generated to defend the self can become malevolent and destructive, resulting in further trauma for the person. Why and how this happens are the questions the book sets out to answer. Drawing on detailed clinical material, the author gives special attention to the problems of addiction and psychosomatic disorder, as well as the broad topic of dissociation and its treatment. By focusing on the archaic and primitive defenses of the self he connects Jungian theory and practice with contemporary object relations theory and dissociation theory. At the same time, he shows how a Jungian understanding of the universal images of myth and folklore can illuminate treatment of the traumatised patient. Trauma is about the rupture of those developmental transitions that make life worth living. Donald Kalsched sees this as a spiritual problem as well as a psychological one and in The Inner World of Trauma he provides a compelling insight into how an inner self-care system tries to save the personal spirit.
