Overview

Complex Trauma Syndrome covers over a decade of research and clinical experience of complex psychological trauma. This book provides a concept: a practical framework and therapy model in treating complex trauma syndrome. The heart of this book is made up of the practical steps of using the Dynamic Therapy Model of which the author is a founder. This is a patient-oriented, holotropic and phased-therapy model designed to integrate the shattered personality caused by diverse, long-lasting, and pervasive effects of the psychological trauma. Dr Zepinic defines complex trauma syndrome as involving traumatic events that (1) are repetitive and prolonged; (2) have involved direct harm and/or direct threat to the trauma victim; (3) occur at a vulnerable time in the victim's life; and (4) have a severe impact upon the victim's entire life and personality, causing social and cognitive dysfunctions. This book not only covers unique matters of clinical expertise in research and therapy of the complex trauma syndrome, but also provides a guideline in treating other complex mental health disorders. Multimodal and phase-oriented treatments of complex mental health disorders, as described in this book, are practical guidelines to those professionals who are dealing with mental health issues.
