Shame, Pride, and Relational Trauma (eBook, ePUB)

Concepts and Psychotherapy

Beschreibung

Shame, Pride, and Relational Trauma is a guide to recognizing the many ways shame and pride lie at the heart of psychotherapy with survivors of relational trauma. In these pages, readers learn how to differentiate shame and pride as emotional processes and traumatic mind/body states. They will also discover how understanding the psychodynamic and phenomenological relationships between shame, pride, and dissociation benefit psychotherapy with relational trauma. Next, readers are introduced to fifteen attitudes, principles, and concepts that guide this work from a transtheoretical perspective. Therapists will learn about ways to conceptualize and successfully navigate complex, patient-therapist shame dynamics, and apply neuroscientific findings to this challenging work. Finally, readers will discover how the concept and phenomena of pro-being pride, that is delighting in one's own and others' unique aliveness, helps patients transcend maladaptive shame and pride and experience greater unity within, with others, and with the world beyond.

Rezensionen

"The most comprehensive guide to thinking about shame and its treatment written so far! Shame and pride are discussed in all their different guises and presentations, with somatic, relational, and visualization approaches to treatment. Densely written and theoretical, yet offering practical applications as well."

Janina Fisher, PhD, author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors and Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma

"Clinical and scientific progress depends upon a differentiation and integration of concepts. Benau's text is an admirable instance of this. Distinguishing and analyzing several kinds of shame and pride, Benau helps clinicians to affectively, empathically, and cognitively

meet individuals who suffer from the problematic forms of these social emotions. Several case examples serve as a major inspiration for therapists to help people develop effective ways of relating to themselves and others. Recommended!"

Ellert Nijenhuis, PhD, independent psychologist and psychotherapist in The Netherlands and Portugal

"A marvelous book! Benau introduces an integrated view of traumatic shame states and its neglected counterpart, pride states. Accessible and erudite, he presents a bridge from theory/concepts to the treatment of patients suffering from maladaptive shame and pride. Therapists learn to navigate ruptures and impasses, creating golden opportunities for transformation. This is a must read for anyone dealing with shame with relational trauma in psychotherapy."

Hanna Levenson, PhD, professor at the Wright Institute in California, USA

"Benau offers a major contribution to understanding shame and pride and to the field of psychotherapy itself. His taxonomy of shame and pride feelings and states highlights the value of recognizing and working with them. About shame he says, 'to not name shame is to do shame's bidding.' He sensitively indicates the challenges that patients and therapists have in such naming. Psychotherapy session transcripts bring the concepts to life and show a multimodal approach for healing problematic shame and pride and facilitating their beneficial forms. This book is the fruit of not only a fine and expansive mind but also a warm and open heart."
