Life is an ongoing struggle for patients who have been chronically traumatized.They typically have a wide array of symptoms, often classified under different combinations of comorbidity, which can make assessment and treatment complicated and confusing for the therapist.Many patients have substantial problems with daily living and relationships, including serious intrapsychic conflicts and maladaptive coping strategies. Their suffering essentially relates to a terrifying and painful past that haunts them. Even when survivors attempt to hide their distress beneath a facade of normality—a common strategy—therapists often feel besieged by their many symptoms and serious pain. Small wonder that many survivors of chronic traumatization have seen several therapists with little if any gains, and that quite a few have been labeled as untreatable or resistant.In this book, three leading researchers and clinicians share what they have learned from treating and studying chronically traumatized individuals across more than 65 years of collective experience. Based on the theory of structural dissociation of the personality in combination with a Janetian psychology of action, the authors have developed a model of phase-oriented treatment that focuses on the identification and treatment of structural dissociation and related maladaptive mental and behavioral actions. The foundation of this approach is to support patients in learning more effective mental and behavioral actions that will enable them to become more adaptive in life and to resolve their structural dissociation. This principle implies an overall therapeutic goal of raising the integrative capacity, in order to cope with the demands of daily life and deal with the haunting remnants of the past, with the “unfinished business” of traumatic memories.Of interest to clinicians, students of clinical psychology and psychiatry, as well as to researchers, all those interested in adult survivors of chronic child abuse and neglect will find helpful insights and tools that may make the treatment more effective and efficient, and more tolerable for the suffering patient.

While I would certainly recommend reading every single word, I sense an obligation to warn professionals that the book reflects and asserts beliefs about the effectiveness of exclusive, one-on-one therapy that simply do not stand up to the tests of "mental efficiency" the authors espouse. Having worked with borderline-organized personalities since Kernberg's and Meissner's time, it is clear to me that the internal =and= interpersonal Drama Triangles in play cannot reliably be kept in mind -- let alone overcome -- by the vast majority of therapists. Linehan's staged (and stage-aware), psychoeducational, skills building, and most importantly, group dynamics approach (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is not only far superior for the patient... it protects therapists from crumbling under the weight of the relentless retriggering of their own traumatic affects, and the allostatic loading induced thereby.Psychotherapy's siren call to the afflicted who desire to compensate for their own injuries by leading others out of the wilderness requires a =lot= more than "good supervision," especially in a realm where the supervisors themselves are so often blind, deaf and senseless to their own continuing difficulties. Believing we're "okay now," and unconscious of our early life conditioning to be heroes and rescuers has taken an immense toll upon many. One does better to observe to notice to recognize to acknowledge to accept to own to appreciate that as often as it takes to understand that playing guru is a sure route to elevated blood pressure, sleep disorders, IBS or rationalized pill popping.No differently in my view than substance abusers, trauma survivors with complex PTSD need to see, hear and sense themselves via their mirrored images in group settings where others who are farther along Prochaska & DiClemente's fives stages of recovery. Because it is those others -- not any therapist -- who provide the scaffolding that simply does not exist in a one-on-one setting where the patient is locked into projections of the therapist as both rescuer here and persecutor there... just like his or her original abuser(s). Good as THS is, it fails entirely to understand that.
