Product Description
Product Description
Franz Ruppert's book explores the different types of trauma experience, along with the bonding theories of John Bowlby and attachment work of Mary Ainsworth and others, forming a multigenerational picture of the dynamics of trauma. Experiences of trauma can be so painful as to cause a split in the personality. It is impossible for a mother or father to avoid passing something of their own traumatic experiences on to their children through the process of bonding. These are the deeper feelings, perceptions, thoughts and embodied ways of being which form the residue of the trauma. Informed by his clinical experience Franz Ruppert introduces his insights into the origins of psychological distress. He has developed a unique way of working sensitively with Constellations to reveal and resolve the hidden dynamics of past trauma.

Format:Paperback
The book describes how the effects of trauma are transmitted across generations, such that the ultimate root of a client's problem may lie in their grandparent's generation or even earlier.
The author distinguishes various levels of trauma (for example, major accident; mother's death at an early age; mother unable to bond with her child; incest or infanticide.) He describes how the effects can be passed on through the bonding process. From his own experience as a therapist, he describes the traumas in earlier generations which he has observed as commonly behind various types of problem which the client presents, and how these traumas can make sense of apparently "crazy" feelings and behaviours in later generations.
Ruppert argues convincingly that resolution of the client's problem is only fully possible by including the earlier trauma, and is greatly facilitated by such inclusion, through the mechanism of family constellation therapy.
This book will be of great interest to professionals working with trauma and with cross-generational processes such as family constellation. Its insights will perhaps have most practical use for family constellation therapists. However, the book stops short of being a manual in "how to do constellations differently;" I certainly hope that such a second volume is in process. Nevertheless, in my view, for constellation therapists this readable, rich, interesting and insightful book is a compelling must-read.
