A crucial contribution that brings clarity and light to the often
dark, confusing journey of treating complex PTSD.Richard C.
Schwartz, PhD, founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS)
For me, and most of my close colleagues, Internal Family Systems
therapy is the fundamental psychotherapeutic approach that we use
to help most of our adult patients who deal with the legacy of
trauma. It is therefore a gift to all of us that Frank Anderson has
written such a lucid, engaging, and comprehensive book that can
help us navigate the complicated journey of resolving relational
trauma. With the help of exquisite personal anecdotes, Anderson
explains the deeper origins of apparently irrational and
self-destructive behaviors that people have developed to deal with
overwhelming realities. Most of all, he describes how to guide
people in reclaiming "self-leadership" and taking back ownership of
their lives. This is a wonderful book that should be read by anyone
who wants to lay down the burdens of past trauma and those who seek
to accompany them on this journeyBessel A. van der Kolk, MD Author
of New York Times bestselling The Body Keeps the Score
With his deeply compassionate attitude, Frank Anderson masterfully
combines his years of clinical wisdom with the insights of
neuroscience to create a definitive work on the treatment of
complex trauma with IFS. This is a book that can and should be read
by all therapists who work with trauma.Janina Fisher, PhD, author
of Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma
