Mental, physical, or sexual abuse in close personal relationships commonly results in trauma that is very different from the trauma of accidents, illness, or war. Little is more intellectually challenging, emotionally demanding, and difficult than therapeutic work with survivors of such traumatic personal relationships and those close to them. This book provides psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and counsellors with a powerful conceptual framework and a concise, masterly review of a huge knowledge base that will support and guide treatment and prevention programmes for these serious problems. This volume:synthesises extensive clinical experience with a comprehensive review of the clinical and research literature presents a unique developmental perspective informed by attachment theory, while integrating key aspects of evolutionary, neurobiological, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal, and psychodynamic concepts explains not only how trauma creates extreme distress in the patient, particularly as manifested in PTSD, but also how it undermines the individual''s ability to cope with such distress delineates the significant contribution of trauma to other serious disorders, including dissociative disturbances, depression, drug abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and personality disorders The key elements of successful interventions are the engagement and motivation of the patient. This book provides therapists with the framework, knowledge base, and practical guidelines for educating patients and those close to them about the nature of trauma, its consequences, and treatment. The author presents in detail his own |tried and tested| education-based interventions. This book will be an immensely valuable resource for practitioners and academics working in all therapeutic traditions. |This excellent book achieves rare success in synthesising academic scholarship and sound clinical principles in understanding and treating disorders relating to trauma. Allen''s conceptual clarity and masterful use of narrative, makes coherent those disorders characterised by incoherence. Equally clinician and teacher, he shows how containment and care, self-regulation and support can mend the wounds inflicted by attachment trauma.| _Antonia Bifulco, Ph.D., Royal Holloway, University of London, UK |In this superb new book, Jon Allen makes creative use of attachment theory to explicate the multifaceted outcomes of trauma. Encyclopedic in scope and scholarly in its up-to-the-minute survey of research findings, this book will be equally useful as a text for the classroom or as a reference book for the experienced clinician. Students and clinicians alike are indebted to Allen for this landmark contribution.| _Glen Gabbard, M.D., The Menninger Clinic, USA |There are but a handful of books that could ever make the claim that they have the potential to change your life...Allen''s book is a genuine ''tour de force'' . . . the model that Allen constructs in this book is quite simply the most satisfactory integration of findings concerning interpersonal trauma which anyone has yet achieved. His review is comprehensive and extremely valuable in that respect alone, but it is also original. Help may take a number of forms, but in all the forms that psychosocial intervention might take, the understanding of underlying psychological processes is the ''sine qua non'' of adequate therapeutic help. Reading this book, you will come to appreciate the truth of this statement as well as making a giant step toward understanding the experience of the individuals who have turned to you for assistance.| _From the Foreword by Peter Fonagy, University College London and The Anna Freud Centre, London, UK |Jon Allen has organized a wealth of scientific information and clinical wisdom about the impact of trauma on a wide range of psychiatric disorders. This comprehensive book impressively integrates not only the psychological and biological impact of trauma, but also essential features
