Terror Within and Without: Attachment and Disintegration: Clinical Work on the Edge (The Bowlby Centre Monograph Series)

Clean, tight, unmarked; few light scratches to covers; otherwise absolute minimal wear; The authors and editors of this book look fear and terror in the face and encourage others to do so as well - on behalf of our own unprocessed terror, that of patients we see, and of the world in which we live. while it is well known that fear of separation and loss trigger the attachment system, putting fear - much less terror - in the spotlight strains the emotional capacities of even the most secure therapists. This book encourages us to look"within and without", to share the fear states and terror states of our patients and clients as a means for co-creating a new reality with room for hope and trusting connection.
