Coping With Trauma

About this book

"For clinicians, this work includes broad discussions of trauma from both psychological and psychiatric perspectives. New developments in attachment theory have reshaped the whole book. Important updates from the first edition include new chapters on illness and depression, including suicidal states; self-defeating aspects of personality disorders and self-destructiveness; emotion and emotion regulation; and - most crucial - maintaining hope, the foundation of healing." "This comprehensive overview of a wide range of traumatic experiences offers a useful guide for patients, their loved ones, and mental health care professionals alike."--Jacket.
