  • More about Attuned Treatment of Developmental Trauma: Non-abused, High-functioning People Living Outside of Time

This book explores the effects of developmental trauma on non-abused individuals, highlighting the impact of repetitive stress, fear, and shame on the developing brain. It focuses on the profound suffering of high-functioning private-practice patients who manifest developmental trauma from chronic shock, shame, and neglect. The author offers a synthesis of diverse theoretical worlds to illustrate the effects of disorganized states in infancy and provides valuable examples for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and clinical psychologists working with traumatized patients.

This book delves into the intricate realm of developmental trauma, exploring its manifestations across group, individual, and combined psychotherapies. It follows the courageous journeys of non-abused individuals who have bravely confronted overwhelming childhood experiences, seeking to make sense of the chaos that permeates their lives. The profound effects of repetitive stress, fear, and shame during childhood have a lasting impact on the developing brain, leaving individuals vulnerable to anxiety, despair, and dissociative moments, often referred to as developmental trauma. Unfortunately, adverse childhood experiences often go unnoticed by therapists, making this book a valuable resource for those working with high-functioning private-practice patients who suffer from the consequences of chronic shock, shame, and neglect.

Adams' work seamlessly integrates diverse theoretical perspectives, including relational psychoanalysis, the British school of object relations, trauma theory, neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychopathology, and attachment theory. Through the use of richly detailed clinical material, this book offers invaluable insights into the consequences of disorganized states in infancy, making it an essential read for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and clinical psychologists who specialize in working with traumatized patients.
