The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma：In Tandem

The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma is a personal account of an analysis spanning more than twenty years, written by practicing psychoanalysts.

This book is the first to document an on-going analysis where both analyst and analysand are seasoned psychologists capable of articulating the relational analytic process theoretically and personally. Rebecca Klott shares a narrative of complex, severe sexual and emotional trauma, with commentary provided by her analyst, Richard Raubolt. Klott and Raubolt create an embodied dialogue, exposing what treatment is like for both the severely traumatized patient and the clinician tasked with helping the patient work toward healing. Through this intimate vantage point, the reader journeys with both patient and clinician as they encounter the breakdowns and breakthroughs which are a part of the process of healing.

The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma will be essential reading for clinicians, trainees and students in the fields of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, counselling, social work, and counselling and clinical psychology.
