In this remarkable book, the authors' extensive clinical experience with traumatized clients, as well as their profound awareness of the limitations of existing paradigms, have directed them to construct a new, comprehensive heuristic theory that can be applied effectively across different victim populations. The Constructivist Self Development Theory crucially pivots on the interaction between the survivor's own objective responses and the objective situation that provokes them - with particular emphasis paid to the context of the former. A superb tool for traumatic stress scholars and clinicians alike, and a fundamental textbook for graduate courses in the field.

In your profession, do you help or work with people who have been
traumatized? Do you listen to stories of abuse, suffering, or
trauma from your clients every day? If so, you know it is important
to hear and bear witness to trauma survivors' experiences and not
be changed. You know firsthand the personal cost of the work you do
and the struggle to make sense of powerful, often painful, feelings
and altered beliefs. This transformation of a helper's inner
experience is called vicarious traumatization (VT); it is an
inescapable effect of trauma work. Transforming the Pain is the
first workbook to address VT. It is designed to take care of the
helper - to help you asses, address, and transform your own VT.
Authors Karen W. Saakvitne and Laurie Anne Pearlman define and
describesthe VT process and offer reassurance that you are not
alone with these painful experiences. The book includes
self-assessment worksheets, and guidelines and specific exercises
for addressing VT and improving self-care. It is designed to be
used by a wide range of professionals and paraprofessionals,
including, but not limited to, therapists, police, medical
personnel, crisis workers, and clergy. After working with
Transforming the Pain, you will find that you have a new awareness
of the ways your work affects your life as well as new skills and
tools for improving your emotional well-being.
Trauma and the Therapist explores the role and experience of the
therapist in the therapeutic relationship by examining
countertransference (the therapist's response to the client) and
vicarious traumatization (the therapist's response to the stories
of abuse told by client after client). Therapists' awareness of
attunement to these processes will inform their therapeutic
interventions, enrich their work, and protect themselves and their
clients. The authors also offer many strategies for avoiding the
countertransference vicarious traumatization cycle. While the topic
is specific, the authors' approach is broad, drawing from and
synthesizing the diverse literature on countertransference and
trauma theory. Utilizing the sophistication of psychoanalytic
theory and the specificity of contemporary trauma theory, Pearlman
and Saakvitne present their approach clearly and compellingly. This
book will help all therapists treating incest survivors feel less
isolated and traumatized by their work, and give them a renewed
appreciation of its rewards.
