Bessel A. Van der Kolk

What causes people to continually relive what they most want to forget, and what treatments could help restore them to a life with purpose and joy? Here, Dr Bessel van der Kolk offers a new paradigm for effectively treating traumatic stress. Neither talking nor drug therapies have proven entirely satisfactory. With stories of his own work and those of specialists around the globe, The Body Keeps the Score sheds new light on the routes away from trauma - which lie in the regulation and syncing of body and mind, using sport, drama, yoga, mindfulness, meditation and other routes to equilibrium.

Now in paperback, this bestselling classic presents seminal theory and research on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Together, the leading editors and contributors comprehensively examine how trauma affects an individual's biology, conceptions of the world, and psychological functioning. Key topics include why certain people cope successfully with traumatic experiences while others do not, the neurobiological processes underlying PTSD symptomatology, enduring questions surrounding traumatic memories and dissociation, and the core components of effective interventions. A highly influential work that laid the foundation for many of the field's continuing advances, this volume remains an immensely informative and thought-provoking clinical reference and text. A new preface to the paperback edition situates the book within the context of contemporary research developments.

Traumasporen in lichaam, brein en geest

Dieses Buch erschliesst ein faszinierendes neuartiges Verständnis der Ursachen und Folgen von Traumata und schenkt jedem, der die zerstörerische Wirkung eines solchen Erlebnisses kennengelernt hat, Hoffnung und Klarheit. Traumata sind eines der grossen gesundheitlichen Probleme unserer Zeit, nicht nur weil sie bei Unfall- und Verbrechensopfern eine so grosse Rolle spielen, sondern auch wegen der weniger offensichtlichen, aber gleichermassen katastrophalen Auswirkungen sexueller und familiärer Gewalt und der verheerenden Wirkung von Missbrauch, Misshandlung, Vernachlässigung und Substanzabhängigkeiten. Bessel van der Kolk, der seit über dreissig Jahren in den Bereichen der Forschung und der klinischen Praxis an vorderster Front aktiv ist, beschreibt in seinem neuen Buch, dass das Entsetzen und die Isolation im Zentrum eines jeden Traumas buchstäblich Gehirn und Körper verändern. Neue Erkenntnisse über die Überlebensinstinkte erklären, warum Traumatisierte von unvorstellbaren Ängsten, Taubheitsempfindungen und unerträglicher Wut heimgesucht werden und wie Traumata ihre Fähigkeit, sich zu konzentrieren, sich zu erinnern, Vertrauensbeziehungen aufzubauen und sich in ihrem eigenen Körper zu Hause zu fühlen, negativ beeinflussen. Das Buch "Verkörperter Schrecken" beschreibt auf inspirierende Weise, wie sich eine Gruppe von Therapeuten und Wissenschaftlern zusammen mit ihren Patienten bemühten, neueste Erkenntnisse aus den Bereichen der Gehirn- und Bindungsforschung sowie über Körpergewahrsein in Behandlungsmethoden zu integrieren, die geeignet sind, Traumatisierte von der Tyrannei ihrer Vergangenheit zu befreien. Diese neuen Wege zur Genesung aktivieren die natürliche Plastizität des Gehirns und nutzen sie, um gestörte Funktionen zu reorganisieren und die Fähigkeit, "zu wissen, was man weiss, und zu fühlen, was man fühlt", wiederherzustellen.

The book gathers some papers concerning the dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. Following the Introduction written by Georg Northoff, concerning the possibility of overcoming the highly impasse generating contraposition between localizationism and holism, G. Vaslamatzis deals with a “Framework for a new dialogue between psychoanalysis and neurosciences”. In this chapter the author describes three points of epistemological congruence: firstly, dualism is no longer a satisfactory solution; secondly, cautions for the centrality of interpretation (hermeneutics); and, thirdly, the self-criticism of neuroscientists. David W.Mann in his contribution “The mirror crack’d: dissociation and reflexivity in self and group phenomena” tries to show how reflexive processes generate each of three levels of the human system (self, relationships, group) and integrate them one to another, while dissociative processes tend throughout to pull them apart. Health and illness within the self, the relationship and the group can be understood as special states of the dynamic equilibria between these cohesive and dispersive trends. In “Sleep, memory and plasticity” Matthew P. Walker and Robert Stickgold outline a review of the researches following the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep, and specifically of those that began testing the hypothesis that sleep, or even specific stages of sleep, actively participated in the process of memory development. The last two chapters, “Clinical implications of neuroscience research in PTSD” by Bessel A. Van Der Kolk, and “Dysregulation of the right brain: a fundamental mechanism of traumatic attachment and the psychopathogenesis of PTSD” by Allan N. Schore, demonstrate how the psychopathology of traumatic conditions can be a fertile field of dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis.

How many of your psychiatric patients have a history of severe physical or psychological abuse or other psychological trauma? These patients often present diagnostic dilemmas, get a variety of diagnoses, and frequently prove difficult-to-treat. They may have syndromes that are reminiscent of the post-traumatic sequelae in adults, such as physiological hyperactivity, a sense of loss of control, passivity alternating with uncontrolled violence, and sleep disturbances including nightmares. Investigating the impact of the traumatic event in connection with the development of the disorder is essential to an effective treatment approach. Psychological Trauma provides a basis for understanding human response to trauma. The consequences of specific traumas have usually been described as separate entities. This is the first book to examine human response to trauma as a whole. In this thorough study of the biologic, psychodynamic and social consequences of trauma, separate chapters explore: * The impact of separation from the parental figure on a child's development, including cognitive and neurological disturbances* The psychobiology of traumatic response* Traumatic antecedents of borderline personality disorder* The effect of trauma on the family unit* Amnesia and dissociation as response to trauma* A stress management approach that can be incorporated into the treatment of patients
