How do individuals cope constructively with significant trauma? How
do they recover from it? What factors seem most codetermining of
coping with and recovering from trauma? Can these be not only
identified but also influenced by our interventions? Addressing
these questions-questions about human beings' capacity for
resilience-is the prime challenge taken up in this book by an
assortment of international psychoanalytic, attachment, and
biological mental health theorists and clinicians. While mental
health professionals are well trained to identify and treat
psychopathology, little is taught about how to look for strengths
in patients that assist them in their coping and that, on their own
and with our nurturance, can foster their recovery. Some of the
contributors to this volume, having themselves been subjected to
severe trauma, speak of resilience both from within their own
experience, from those around them, and from their work with
traumatized patients.

This book is about affect--its origins, development, and uses--and
how it is viewed in a clinical setting. The authors track and
further develop the recent major changes in the understanding of
affect. From its roots in childhood development to its
cross-cultural aspects, affect remains clinically relevant in
issues such as aggression and forgiveness.
Terrorism and war have engendered a special set of people with
distinctive and uniquely contemporary therapeutic needs. How do we
cope with the personal experience of political violence? Living
with Terror, Working with Trauma addresses the ways that mental
health practitioners can assist survivors of terrorism. Drawing
upon the experience of leading practitioners and renowned experts
throughout the world, this edited volume explores the most
innovative methods currently employed to help people heal and even
grow from traumatic experiences. It argues for a multi-dimensional
approach to understanding and treating the effects of
terror-related trauma. Comprehensive in scope, Living with Terror,
Working with Trauma covers psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral,
existential, and neuro-physiological techniques for working with
individuals and groups, children and adults, both in the clinic and
in the field. The contributors share their personal and clinical
experiences in Hiroshima, Cambodia, the Middle East, Vietnam, and
other sites of mass violence and terror, including the Holocaust. A
special section is devoted to the September 11th. As it addresses
the basic existential challenge of finding meaning and creatively
transforming one's experience of terror and trauma, this volume
explores the territory, identifies the key problems, and presents
effective therapeutic solutions."
