Autor von The Gossamer Thread: My Life as a Psychotherapist
Über den Autor
In this authoritative book, John Marzillier describes and reviews the various forms of trauma therapy, examing what the therapies consist of, their research basis, their similarities and differences, and what they tell us about trauma and its effects. Designed specifically for therapists, and mehr anzeigen engagingly written, the book ranges from established therapies, such as prolonged exposure, EMDR and imaginal reliving, to newer development such as mindfulness meditation, compassion-focused therapy and energy osychology techniques. Aware that therapy is more than a collection of techniques, Marzillier discusses the nature of psychological trauma, the therapeutic relationship and what psychotherapy can offer. The domination of a quasi-medical model, nobably in terms of PTSD and of evidence-based psychotherapy, has led to a misleadingly simplistic notion that effective trauma therapies are those based on exposure. This book does much to dispel this notion. Marzillier describes the many and varied trauma therapies and shows how therapists of all persuasions could benefit from further understanding of how best to help those who have been through a major trauma. weniger anzeigen
