Remembering Trauma

Phil Mollon is a member of the Independent Group within the British Psychoanalytical Society. He is also a clinical psychologist, and trained in psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic.

"Based on his own deep understanding and exposure to difficult cases, Mollon succeeds in capturing the complexity and challenge of this kind of work while encouraging the therapist to perservere and live with uncertainty. His principles and approach will be an inspiration to anyone working with traumatized clients." Clinical Psychology Forum
