Back From The Brink
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was originally diagnosed in Vietnam veterans, but today experts are considering the same symptoms and healing strategies in cases of death, rape, job loss, fatal accident, or childhood abuse. Dr. Catherall’s years of work with trauma victims has revealed that the family is often the key to healing.
Psychologist Don Catherall’s professional life centered on two things: trauma and relationships. He published the first guide for families dealing with trauma, Back from the Brink (1992), edited the Handbook of Stress, Trauma and the Family (2004), and created the Emotional Safety model of couples therapy (2006). The Emotional Safety model mixes seamlessly with most other therapy models—its focus is on making the emotional relationship safe. Each partner is then able to be open and vulnerable, providing the best mindset for therapy.
