An accessible and sensitive guide to the key concepts involved when working with people who have experienced trauma and dissociation, this book covers all degrees of trauma: complex, childhood attachment ruptures, sexual abuse, torture, war, and even the coronavirus pandemic. Through this compassionate and intelligent work, Valerie Sinason shows us what is needed to understand some of the worst possible experiences without a loss of feelings.
