The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma is a personal account of an analysis spanning more than twenty years, written by practicing psychoanalysts.
This book is the first to document an on-going analysis where both analyst and analysand are seasoned psychologists capable of articulating the relational analytic process theoretically and personally. Rebecca Klott shares a narrative of complex, severe sexual and emotional trauma, with commentary provided by her analyst, Richard Raubolt. Klott and Raubolt create an embodied dialogue, exposing what treatment is like for both the severely traumatized patient and the clinician tasked with helping the patient work toward healing. Through this intimate vantage point, the reader journeys with both patient and clinician as they encounter the breakdowns and breakthroughs which are a part of the process of healing.
The Intimate Edges of Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma will be essential reading for clinicians, trainees and students in the fields of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, counselling, social work, and counselling and clinical psychology.
Reviews and Endorsements
A psychoanalytic memoir of unimaginable impacts and survival. At the heart of such catastrophe, Faith lies dormant, awaiting rebirth of psyche and soul. Damaged and damaging bonds finally housed, finding psyche-soul deformations transformed, the shattered and shattering impacts of childhood trauma infused with life-giving capacity. As written by Lord Byron and articulated by Daws - Here’s to the Children of the Second Birth.
Dr. Michael Eigen, psychoanalyst and author of Bits of Psyche: Selected Seminars by Michael Eigen
This courageously intimate and unflinchingly honest page-turner, co-created by Dr. Richard Raubolt (analyst) and Dr. Rebecca Klott (analysand), offers readers an extraordinary glimpse into the profound heartbreak of severe, complex childhood trauma, the messiness of human suffering, and the intricacies of the healing process. Sustained by Raubolt’s faith in the transformative power of a co-created ‘we’, Rebecca, even in her darkest moments, finds solace in the knowledge that she is no longer alone. The rawness of Rebecca’s heartrending experiences and the incisiveness of Raubolt’s penetrating insights are woven together with such tenderness and love that this becomes a story not just about therapy but about the shared humanity of two brave souls journeying in tandem from lost to found.
Martha Stark, MD, award-winning author of nine books on the integration of psychoanalytic theory with clinical practice, including Modes of Therapeutic Action, Working with Resistance, and Relentless Hope
This memoir pushes the boundaries of modern psychoanalytic treatment in a way that deepens what Freud coined as ‘the talking cure’. In these pages one finds a combination of talking and writing that blends emotional depths with theoretical moorings, while a beautiful, painful story unfolds.
Keri S. Cohen, co-editor of Toxic Nourishment and Damaged Bonds in the Work of Michael Eigen, Working with the Obstructive Object
