Attachment, Trauma, and Ways to Inner Confidence in Positive Psychodynamic Therapy

Abstract

Traumatic experience changes health, relation patterns and conflict reactions. Threatening events can cause desperation and can profoundly damage personality structure capacities and bonding qualities like trust. A structured process of treatment back to confidence and a balanced everyday life starting with stabilization phases, leading to integration is described.
