Download or read book The End of Trauma written by George A. Bonanno and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With “groundbreaking research on the psychology of resilience” (Adam Grant), a top expert on human trauma argues that we vastly overestimate how common PTSD is in and fail to recognize how resilient people really are. After 9/11, mental health professionals flocked to New York to handle what everyone assumed would be a flood of trauma cases. Oddly, the flood never came. In The End of Trauma, pioneering psychologist George A. Bonanno argues that we failed to predict the psychological response to 9/11 because most of what we understand about trauma is wrong. For starters, it’s not nearly as common as we think. In fact, people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. What we often interpret as PTSD are signs of a natural process of learning how to deal with a specific situation. We can cope far more effectively if we understand how this process works. Drawing on four decades of research, Bonanno explains what makes us resilient, why we sometimes aren’t, and how we can better handle traumatic stress. Hopeful and humane, The End of Trauma overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship.
Download or read book Analysing Patients with Traumas written by Franziska Henningsen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on detailed case histories of patients with severe traumas. The author takes us through the successive stages of analysis and gives us a graphic impression of the progress of her diagnostic and therapeutic insights into traumatic processes and their treatment. Her main interest is in the development of the transference/countertransference relationship. Traumatic experience has to be actualised within that relationship if it is to be treated successfully, only in this way can therapeutic change become a feasible proposition. Traumatic micro-processes and trauma-sequel phenomena in transference and countertransference are described and conceptualized. The author demonstrates her point with examples taken from clinical practice: illnesses experienced as traumatic; separation traumas; childhood experiences of violence; adult experiences of violence: war, torture, and displacement that can engender PTSD. This book is a genuinely original contribution to psychoanalytic treatment of traumas.
Download or read book Understand Childhood Trauma How To Let Go written by Julian Demarco and published by Island Hammock Publishing, llc. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **As featured in Publishers Weekly with A+ rating** "Clinical professionals will appreciate the boots-on-the-ground analysis of treatment options, while more casual readers will welcome the empowering messages, like the recommendations to "let go of the belief that perfection equals happiness" and to open up to significant others about their roles in the healing process. The overarching insight that trauma recovery must be individualized, with no set timetable for healing, pairs nicely with Demarco's goal to help readers "reclaim control" over their thoughts. The end result is as informative as well as inspiring." Book Description: Why are symptoms of panic attacks, anxieties, PTSD, and depression so tightly bound to trauma? Why does the traumatic memory feel so real, like it just happened? How do you regain control of your life and release the pain to feel symptom-free? Are you tired of being a slave to your emotions and triggered? Within this book, you will discover hope in regaining control of your emotions so that memories only serve as reflections of the past and no longer cause you pain. Discover how to ease yourself out of depression and release anxieties by rewiring your high-alert trauma brain. Brain chemistry changes from high cortisol levels, and science shows are directly connected to symptoms. By rewiring your brain, you bring yourself out from being associated with the memory and into the present moment, the now. You will be able to take your view out from the rear-view mirror behind you and onto the road ahead. You deserve better. Julian is a survivor of child sexual abuse and adult domestic violence and was diagnosed with complex PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Living in fear and a slave to her symptoms robbed her of being truly happy. She found NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) therapy that dramatically changed her outlook on life. This type of therapy assisted in releasing the painful memories by changing the emotional aspects of the memories from associated (feeling as if just happened) to dissociated (like watching a movie). By cognitive restructuring and changing the scene it changed the feeling response to the memory. It overcame her 40 plus years of trauma symptoms, and having a deep desire to assist others led to becoming a certified NLP Practitioner. No one should have to suffer when there’s hope. Not all people will respond to the techniques shared in this book, just as not all types of therapies are 100% effective. Understanding Childhood Trauma & How To Let Go is written from a survivor’s view of some of life’s cruelties as well as a practitioner on how to let go and find your joy again. Being a survivor also means Julian truly understands how hopeless you may feel because she has lived it. Most clinicians can’t wholly understand the tribulation from symptoms that overshadows life and only see it from a sterile clinical perspective. Julian conveys compassion with empathy for what you’ve endured in your life. You’re a survivor. Narrowed down are 11 techniques written in detail that, based on studies, were found to be most successful. This introduction to NLP is written in an easy-to-understand language and mindful not to trigger the reader with details of her traumas. This is the must-have book to ease you through your painful past and to assist you in becoming truly free. You deserve to be happy and take back control of your life.

Download or read book Disaster and Trauma An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America written by Stephen J Cozza and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for health care providers - child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and primary care clinicians - is presented. Most clinicians are unaware that children in the United States are exposed to trauma frequently, either as a single occurrence, or through repeated events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and well-being. This issue describes the multiple types of traumatic exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment, and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. The volume highlights areas of particular relevance to children, such as natural disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community violence, sexual victimization, and complex trauma. Each is differentiated as a unique trauma, requiring trauma-informed systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed population. Since traumatic exposure results in added risk to child well-being, the third section of the volume describes strategies for primary prevention (e.g. violence prevention) and risk mitigation (e.g. skill and resilience building strategies), as well as reviews evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical disorders.

Download or read book PTSD in Children and Adolescents written by Spencer Eth and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2008-08-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PTSD is a recently named psychiatric condition that unknown before the publication of DSM-III in 1980. The creation of this diagnosis was intensely controversial, and there continued to be considerable reluctance to apply the term to children. The 1985 landmark volume, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Children, edited by Spencer Eth and Robert Pynoos, helped establish the validity of this condition during childhood. Now Spencer Eth has edited PTSD in Children and Adolescents, a work that brings the field of childhood trauma in to the new century by offering fresh insights on five major topic areas in child and adolescent PTSD: Techniques for comprehensive evaluation -- details recently developed diagnostic instruments and rating scales that measure the variety and severity of traumatic symptoms in children and adolescents. Forensic aspects of traumatized children -- surveys legally pertinent issues, including abuse, reliability of traumatic memories, and credibility of child victims. Juvenile offenders and incarcerated youth -- examines the role of trauma in the lives of juvenile offenders, noting that the victimization of delinquents must be specifically addressed in order for an integrated approach to treatment to achieve effective rehabilitation. Biological treatment strategies -- systematically reviews the important role of medications for PTSD in clinical practice, including such topics as biological dysregulation, target symptoms, and the inclusion of drugs into the biopsychosocial treatment plan. The relationship between exposure to trauma in childhood and the development of psychiatric disorders in adulthood -- presents current research on the long-term prognosis of traumatized children and adolescents by analyzing the association between early traumatic exposure, biological substrates, and subsequent symptomatic morbidity. Mental health practitioners and trainees, as well as attorneys, pediatricians, and school personnel, will find this thoroughly annotated volume an invaluable roadmap in their journey toward understanding PTSD and discovering more effective treatments for traumatized children and adolescents. With its eclectic perspective and interdisciplinary format, this exceptional reference will also enhance courses in developmental psychology, social work, and education.
Download or read book Analyzing Children written by Edward I. Kohn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freud described changes in the structure of the mind, including the consolidation of the superego with resolution of the oedipal complex. Important psychoanalytic thinkers since Freud have studied and emphasized the role of pre-oedipal development in the creation of psychological structure. While each of these authors developed his or her own language and concepts, they all described a fundamental transition in the structure and working of the mind that has profound importance for the psychological functioning of the child and the adult she later becomes. This book closely examines the analyses of two little girls. One began analysis having already achieved the transition to a more enduring and reliable psychic structure, a cohesive self. Because she had several experiences that overwhelmed her emotional capacities prior to entering the oedipal phase of development, her oedipal experience was filled with anxiety and overstimulation. At the start of her analysis , the second child contended with anxiety about loss of the object and abandonment, and she struggled with the process of separation/individuation. Her psychic structure, her self, was not cohesive, and she was vulnerable to fragmentation. During her analysis, her stymied development was freed up, and the authors trace the changes within her as psychic structure consolidated and oedipal material took center stage. Comparison of these two young girls and their analyses enables the authors to illustrate and describe important mental phenomena and psychoanalytic concepts. These include psychic structure, the self, the similarities and differences between a mind that is vulnerable to fragmentation and one that is not, and the internal states associated with fragmentation and trauma. By looking into the differences (and similarities) in the ways each girl responded to interventions by her analyst, the authors explore psychoanalytic technique and therapeutic action, including the many manifestations of interpretation and insight, the role of the analyst as a developmental object, and the development of psychic structure. The authors show how similar manifest behavior and content have different latent meanings and sources for each child, and they further illustrate the transformations of fantasies, anxieties, preoccupations, and ego structures over the course of their analyses.
