A fresh look at the importance of dissociation in understanding trauma.
A new model of therapeutic action, one that heals trauma and dissociation, is overtaking the mental-health field. It is not just trauma, but the dissociation of the self, that causes emotional pain and difficulties in functioning. This book discusses how people are universally subject to trauma, what trauma is, and how to understand and work with normative as well as extreme dissociation.
In this new model, the client and the practitioner are both traumatized and flawed human beings who affect each other in the mutual process that the promotes the healing of the client-psychotherapy. Elizabeth Howell explains the dissociative, relational, and attachment reasons that people blame and punish themselves. She covers the difference between repression and dissociation, and how Freud's exclusive focus on repression and the one-person fantasy Oedipal model impeded recognition of the serious consequences of external trauma, including child abuse.
The book synthesizes trauma/dissociation perspectives and addresses new structural models.

If you know someone who has been traumatized or if you have been abused (in any way) get this book. It will help you to understand the mechanisms of how people cope in order to survive.
If you are a therapist, get this book. It will help you, not only to understand people with multiple personalities; but also anyone with any type of pathology, attachment issue or any other kind of personality disorder. … Except for PATHOLOGICAL character disorder, which is distinctly different from being character-flawed (as all of us are to some degree); there are other books which discuss that specific topic.
THE BEST book on psychology you will ever find.

The best part, from the perspective of a patient, is how she normalized and related to the experience of traumatic dissociation with her personal example of her experience of 9-11.
She did focus a lot of Freud, which makes sense because he is the elephant in psychiatry and this book was written for therapists. However, for people who didn’t study him in detail it was maybe too much. (In contrast, the basic psych classes I took talked about him in a historical context, more like the person who discovered the first small pox vaccines that killed some people when administering it. A major leap forward but with a lot of flaws and risks.)
From a totally personal perspective, I felt she described some of the breakthrus I’ve had in my relationship with my therapist and gave them an understanding I didn’t have before. I had an incident in my first 6 months of therapy with my current therapist where she stood up for me and advocated for my care - even though I had also made an error and admitted it. And she did so without my asking her to. It was a relationship experience I had never had before and changed the course of our work together.
Concise, accessible and yet thorough enough
