This book introduces the concept of the "Person One Could Have
Become" and shows the importance of mourning for individuals with
traumatic experiences. The Person One Could Have Become is
conceptualized as personality and physical characteristics that
could have emerged if an individual, at the right time, had
received or opted for an appropriate quantity and quality of
stimuli and experiences, which in turn would have enabled the
person to make more mature and independent choices. Consequences of
potentially traumatic events bear non-linear, meta-folding, and
multicontextual meaning unique to each being-in-the-world. Many
people with a history of trauma tend to mystify their existence in
order to survive. This book contains an overview of the
ramifications of abuse and neglect on personality, as well as the
consequences of pregnancy loss and the specific loss of possibility
and its co-occurrence with abuse and neglect. It looks at examples
from daily life and two cases of traumatized individuals who differ
in their background and experience of trauma, as well as in their
struggles during psychotherapy. This book is not intended as a
treatment manual, nor does it advocate for any particular
therapeutic approach. It is, rather, an encouragement of a way of
living. Indeed, a reasonable mourning of the Person One Could Have
Become may set the individual free-also such with the history of
trauma-for the road beyond the traditional psychotherapy outcome,
the road toward authenticity.
