Psychosis and the Traumatised Self explores what it is like to
experience psychosis for individuals with histories of childhood
physical and sexual abuse. The book additionally explores how
meaning expressed in psychosis might originate from the effects of
abuse, but also long-term life difficulties, motivations, memories,
social history, and struggles to narrate and understand. One
chapter focuses on refugees who suffered trauma as adults and later
became psychotic. Another chapter examines how trauma leads to the
destruction of certainty and trust, thereby opening a pathway to
persecutory ideas. Drawing on a developmental model of trauma, it
is proposed that dissociated parts of the self that developed
during childhood contribute to psychosis in adults when undergoing
difficulties and stress. Presented with case illustrations, the
book will be useful for those who work in the area of psychosis and
abuse to understand the experiences of individuals, and how we
might develop appropriate therapy and care.
