This book connects the methodology of systemic therapy with the principles of modern psychotraumatology and trauma therapy. The aim is to open up pathways for traumatized families that can help them lead a life as symptom-free as possible after experiencing trauma. What is new is the practical description of how parents and children can benefit together from counseling or therapy. In the first part, alongside historical aspects of psychotraumatology, the resources and self-help capacities of families are explained. Through examples, it discusses how families and couples can be supported in counseling centers after experiencing external trauma (such as accidents, war and civil war, early childhood trauma of parents, the death of a parent, traumatic experiences of foster children).
