Abstract

A wide ranging anaysis of the life course of complex psychological and emotional trauma, covering insights from epidemiology (esp. re: un-diagnosed personality disorder), contemporary neuroscience, psychology, sociology, systems analysis and social policy. The extensive central section consists of accounts and edited interviews with practitioners developing innovative responses, across all age ranges. The third and final section considers social policy responses, ranging from the Post War therapeutic community movement to the Big Society, with particular reference to "psychologically informed environments" and other "enabling environments". NB: there is also now a companion website: http://www.complextraumarecoveryenvironments.org.uk/ where many of thes ideas are further explored and the content updated.
