Reviews
In this volume, Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development, Dr. Shubs has produced an encyclopedic work on the title subject. He brings to the task his understanding that comes from his clinical experience of working for decades with victims of violent crimes. In addition, he provides, in their own words, the personal theories and interpretations of the leading authorities in the field. His research comes from a personal, theoretical and experiential base. This is no more evidenced than in a poem he wrote, To Be in a Closet, which he inserts at the beginning of his work, where he says, The final version [of the poem] grew out of my self-awareness regarding my own array of closets and my knowing that each of us has them. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone working with the impact of traumatic experience on their clients or themselves. Robert Hilton, Ph.D., co-founder of the Southern California Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis and Trainer Emeritus of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. Carl Shubs has done it again! In his prior writings on transference and countertransference with trauma victims, using somatic therapies as well as psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Shubs has demonstrated a remarkable capacity to stand in many theoretical and clinical worlds at once. His unique gift is to understand and be able to effectively integrate in highly original ways numerous schools of psychoanalytic thinking as well as neuropsychological studies, infant research, and somatic psychotherapy practices. In this tour de force through the complex world of developmental, neuropsychological, and trauma studies, Shubs makes clear that all of the features described in pathological trauma situations are also to one degree or another a part of normal development.
