The evidence that traumatic influences in childhood and adolescence represent, if not the essential factor, in the development of severe disorders in adulthood has completely transformed psychotherapy in recent years. This book focuses on the treatment of trauma. It presents strategies for addressing both attachment and relational traumas as well as for treating traumatic single events. Texts with a scientific orientation (e.g., stress outcome research) form the foundation upon which the structure of "Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy" is built. All elements, intervention, and treatment strategies are thoroughly justified and illustrated with clinical examples. Ulrich Sachsse has over 25 years of experience in treating complexly traumatized patients.
