Approaches to Psychic Trauma: Theory and Practice covers the many
developments in the relatively new field of trauma therapy. It
examines the nature of the wide variety of treatments available for
traumatized people, describing elements they have in common and
those that are specific to each treatment. Originating with the
editor's clinical experience working with patients from the former
German Democratic Republic, contributors then discuss alternative
therapies including ego psychology, self psychology,
object-relations theory, attachment theory, psychoanalysis, and art
therapies. Case studies further illustrate the application and
practice. Approaches to Psychic Trauma presents a diversity of
theories and tools centering on trauma and history, and through the
microcosm of individual personalities one may have a close-up view
of how historical events, as well as personal narratives and
reactions to them, consciously and unconsciously affect the
individual.

Psychotherapy in the Wake of War presents the ways in which
differing views of various psychoanalytic schools and traditions
spanning developments for more than one hundred years may affect
theoretical and technical issues in psychoanalytic treatments.
Colleagues representing different traditions of psychoanalytic
thinking comment on a selection of nine cases and suggest ways of
managing these both technically and theoretically. They have a
variety of theoretical structures and axioms in their minds, a
range of understandings of the symptoms of patients and of which
type of interventions to make. This is based on their own internal
reflective processes, their trainings and their personal
development within their particular schools over time. These
different approaches reflect the evolution and divergences of
psychoanalytic thinking. Some of the writers write in the language
of their school, while others have developed their own style. Still
others show that there can be issues that arise in clinical work
which cannot be easily and fully conceptualized within the confines
of one single and particular theoretical orientation. Interesting
convergences and divergences are demonstrated in the comments of
the practitioners in this present book. Clinical experience may be
approached in different ways, as the commentators say, and
unexpected ideas thought previously to be incompatible may
converge.
