About this title

Synopsis

Neuropsychosocial Integration: A Practical Approach to Discharging Trauma and Recovering the Authentic Self explores the incidence of psychosocial trauma in ordinary life as it persists across generations. For those who have been exposed in some way to adverse lived experiences and/or protracted psychosocial stress, a manifestation of psychosocial trauma is disintegration in the self and in between the body and mind. Integration can be recovered, along with authenticity in the self and well-being in the body and mind, through the toolkit the author presents in the form of the acronym and metaphoric quiverful of SPEARS: Somato-Psycho-Emotional Attunement and Relational Safety. Featuring case studies, this book holds a specific appeal for graduate-student trauma researchers, therapists, and clinicians, as well as lay individuals exploring their own traumas.
