With these two worlds in focus, Kalsched explores a variety of themes as he builds an integrated psycho-spiritual approach to trauma and its treatment including:
Images of the lost soul-child in dreams and how this child is fought over by light and dark sides of the spirit-world
Dante s guided descent into the Inferno of Hell and his encounter with dissociation
Childhood innocence its fate and role in the psychology process and development through Saint Exupery s story, The Little Prince
Evidence for a transcendental reality
Experiences of wholeness and how this is imaged in dreams as the lost soul s return to the body.
This is a book that restores the mystery to psychoanalytic work and tells stories of ordinary patients and ordinary psychotherapists who through working together, glimpse the reality of the human spirit and the depth of the human soul and are changed by the experience. Trauma and the Soul will be of particular interest to practising psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, analytical psychologists counsellors, psychiatric nurses, expressive arts therapists, including those with a spiritual orientation.
Donald Kalsched is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. He is the author of numerous articles in analytical psychology and lectures widely on the subject of early trauma and its treatment. His books include The Inner World of Trauma, 1996.”
