Free Download Working with Trauma: Lessons from Bion and Lacan By Marilyn Charles
2011 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 0765706806 | PDF | 2 MB
Working with Trauma: Lessons from Bion and Lacan by Marilyn Charles takes concepts from the psychoanalytic literature and translates them into user-friendly language. In this book, Charles focuses on clinical work with more severely disturbed patients, for whom trauma has impeded their psychosocial development. Introducing ideas from Bion and Lacan, such as "empty speech" and "attacks on linking," she shows the reader their clinical utility. Her use of clinical moments, rather than more lengthy vignettes, invites readers to recognize that type of dilemma and imagine how they might use the concept in their own work.

This book takes the case of the civil war disappeared in Lebanon to draw on fiction’s potential to inform peacebuilding processes by allowing the exploration of invisible histories in postwar Beirut. In its close reading of three Lebanese novels by Rabee Jaber, the book follows a multidisciplinary approach that puts trauma theory in dialogue with the Lebanese context and Arabic language, producing new concepts, models, and questions related to trauma, loss, and history, while also reflecting on the role fiction, as a cultural production, can play.

Free Download The Social Psychology of Trauma: Connecting the Personal and the Political
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009306987 | 222 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
Many of us have been affected by trauma and struggle to manage our health and well-being. The social psychological approach to health highlights how social and cultural forces, as much as individual ones, are central to how we experience and cope with adversity. This book integrates psychology, politics, and medicine to offer a new understanding that speaks to the causes and consequences of traumatic experiences. Connecting the personal with the political, Muldoon details the evidence that traumatic experiences can, under certain conditions, impact people’s political positions and appetite for social change. This perspective reveals trauma as a socially situated phenomenon linked to power and privilege or disempowerment and disadvantage. The discussion will interest those affected by trauma and those supporting them, as well as students, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in social psychology, health and clinical psychology, and political science. This title is available as open access on Cambridge Core.

The Psychology of Trauma integrates the knowledge and research from clinical practice and neuroscience to offer a scientific approach to understanding and managing symptoms of trauma. It debunks the myths and prejudices around trauma-informed therapy, shifting people’s view from ‘What’s wrong with you?’ to ‘What happened to you?’, and provides an overview of the different concepts and counselling approaches that are most suitable to support working with trauma. It also explores how neurodiversity, cultural differences, or social contexts affect the way we respond to any trauma.

Free Download Stephen J. J. Morewitz, "Stalking and Violence: New Patterns of Trauma and Obsession"
English | 2003 | pages: 153 | ISBN: 1475778163, 0306473658 | PDF | 1,2 mb
Stalking and Violence: New Patterns of Obsession and Trauma provides new perspectives on the prevalence, causes, and effects of stalking in intimate and non-intimate relations. Drawing on the results of a large random survey of restraining orders, this book found that stalking is highly prevalent in a variety of relationships and is a pattern of behaviors that is routinely regulated by the demographic and social characteristics of the victims and offenders. This book demonstrates that it is possible to develop reliable stalker profiles to help better detect and respond to the threat of stalking. These findings differ from previous studies that considered stalking limited to severely disturbed persons. Covering a wide range of topics from offender profiling, the dangers of stalking, cyberstalking, traumatic health effects, and the responses of the police and courts to stalking, this book will be relevant to a wide range of professionals and students in the fields of mental health, criminal justice, law, social work, medicine, nursing, public health, security/safety, and internet technology.
