Material type:
TextPublisher: New York, NY : Routledge, 2023Description: viii, 127 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmISBN: 9781032207490Subject(s): Post-traumatic stress disorder -- Treatment | PsychoanalysisLOC classification: RC552 | .P67 B76 2023Summary: "By viewing psychoanalysis through the lens of embodiment, Brothers and Sletvold suggest a shift away from traditional concept-based theory and offer new ways to understand traumatic experiences, to describe the therapeutic exchange and to enhance the supervisory process. Since traditional psychoanalytic language does not readily lend itself to embodied experience, the authors place particular emphasis on the words I, you we and world, to describe the flow of human attention. Offering new insights into trauma, this book demonstrates how traumatic experiences and efforts to regain certainty in one's psychological life involve profound disruptions of this flow. With new understanding of transference, resistance and interpretation, the authors ultimately show how much is gained from viewing the analytic exchange as a meeting between foreign bodies. Grounded in detailed case material, this book will change the way therapists from all disciplines understand the therapeutic process and how viewing it in terms of talking bodies enhances their efforts to heal".
