Joanne Stubley – författare

The new diagnosis of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder presents diagnostic and treatment challenges that need to be grappled with, since, in a troubled world, it is increasingly important to understand the impact and aftermath of traumatic experiences and, crucially, how to work with those affected by them.In Complex Trauma, Joanne Stubley and Linda Young have assembled a fascinating range of approaches in order to explore the questions of understanding and intervention. They detail the relevance of an applied psychoanalytic approach, both in the Tavistock Trauma Service and, more broadly, in illuminating understanding of traumatized individuals. The book includes chapters related to the impact of trauma on the body, as well as on the mind, incorporating neurobiological and attachment theory to develop ideas on the impact and aftermath of complex trauma. A number of specialist areas of trauma work are covered within this volume, including work with adolescents, with refugees and asylum seekers, with military veterans, and with survivors of child sexual abuse.The editors bring together chapters that will be of interest to those working with traumatized individuals in a variety of settings and using different modalities. The central importance of relationships, as understood within the psychoanalytic model, is depicted throughout as being at the heart of understanding and working with traumatic experience.

This book addresses the issue of non-recent child sex abuse and its long-term impact on adult survivors from a broadly psychodynamic perspective.Non-recent CSA is not a subject that can or should be confined to the clinical arena. It has legal, welfare and profound social implications, with its impact broadening out from the survivor to the family to the community and into wider society. The politics of power and oppression are intertwined with the experience and may be unconsciously repeated into adult experiences, often worsened by the interplay of intersectionality and the withdrawal of public services and support for people with complex mental health problems. This book has been developed to support survivors, families, practitioners and the wider public break the social taboo around the topic of child sexual abuse. It unites a broad range of voices to encourage better community support and improve social services to support those impacted.With an ethical commitment to the field, this book will appeal to clinicians working in mental health but will also hold interest to those in other fields such as the social sciences, as well as the interested public, and CSA survivors in particular.
