The Complexity of Trauma

Jungian and Psychoanalytic Approaches to the Treatment of Trauma

This important volume offers a broad and in-depth overview of how to understand and treat trauma from a Jungian perspective, written by internationally recognized experts in the field of Jungian and traditional psychoanalysis.

Dedicated to Daniela Eulert-Fuchs, this important volume offers a broad and in-depth overview of how to understand and treat trauma from a Jungian perspective, written by internationally recognized experts in the field of Jungian and traditional psychoanalysis.

It applies C.G. Jung’s concept of the ‘complex’ and his understanding of splitting processes of the psyche to trauma. Traversing a range of pertinent themes including archetypal defences, primary narcissistic wounding, somatic symptoms, symbolic representation and processing, transference and types of memory, the book features a variety of voices from different theoretical perspectives, with each contributor offering clinical examples and lessons from their experiences working with patients. Chapters cover a wide range of clinical phenomena including early relational trauma, dissociative states, the Self-care System, unconscious communication, embodied countertransference, eroticization, PTSD, creativity and cultural/social issues.

The Complexity of Trauma is key reading for psychoanalysts and therapists as well as for researchers, students, and trainees in schools of psychodynamic psychotherapy and those interested in working with trauma.
