This book presents an integrative relational approach to treating trauma and psychological entanglements through autobiographical, philosophical and clinical reflections on the transgenerational dimension of the human experience and the self as an irreducible core of the person. The book commences with the author’s own journey growing up in a Jewish family deeply affected by transgenerational trauma from the Holocaust, providing an inspiring and reflective backdrop to this book’s contents. Isaac Pizer then describes and explains his philosophy of therapy, which holds psychotherapy and the treatment of trauma as a relational process that requires an inclusive awareness of the following dimensions of human experiencing: the physical, intrapsychic, relational, transgenerational, transpersonal. Exploring a psychotherapy that holds and integrates transgenerational awareness in the treatment of complex trauma, this book is supplemented with case studies and the author’s own experiences. This compelling and thought-provoking book is intended for therapists, therapists in training and people seeking knowledge and encouragement in their journeys of personal and collective healing, self-realisation and personal growth.
