Winner of the NAAP 2019 Gradiva (R) Award! Winner of the IAJS Book
Award for Best Book published in 2019! Marian Dunlea's BodyDreaming
in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: An Embodied Therapeutic
Approach provides a theoretical and practical guide for working
with early developmental trauma. This interdisciplinary approach
explores the interconnection of body, mind and psyche, offering a
masterful tool for restoring balance and healing developmental
trauma. BodyDreaming is a somatically focused therapeutic method,
drawing on the findings of neuroscience, analytical psychology,
attachment theory and trauma therapy. In Part I, Dunlea defines
BodyDreaming and its origins, placing it in the context of a
dysregulated contemporary world. Part II explains how the brain
works in relation to the BodyDreaming approach: providing an
accessible outline of neuroscientific theory, structures and
neuroanatomy in attunement, affect regulation, attachment patterns,
transference and countertransference, and the resolution of trauma
throughout the body. In Part III, through detailed transcripts from
sessions with clients, Dunlea demonstrates the positive impact of
BodyDreaming on attachment patterns and developmental trauma. This
somatic approach complements and enhances psychobiological,
developmental and psychoanalytic interventions. BodyDreaming
restores balance to a dysregulated psyche and nervous system that
activates our innate capacity for healing, changing our default
response of "fight, flight or freeze" and creating new neural
pathways. Dunlea's emphasis on attunement to build a restorative
relationship with the sensing body creates a core sense of self,
providing a secure base for healing developmental trauma.
Innovative and practical, and with a foreword by Donald E.
Kalsched, BodyDreaming in the Treatment of Developmental Trauma: An
Embodied Therapeutic Approach will be essential reading for
psychotherapists, analytical psychologists and therapists with a
Jungian background, arts therapists, dance and movement therapists,
and body workers interested in learning how to work with both body
and psyche in their practices.
