Project description
 

Traumatic experiences often have a tremendeous impact on someone’s functioning and cannot easily be integrated within the narrative identity. In this study it is investigated by means of systematic case studies how representations of traumatic experiences are constructed and change during psychodynamic psychotherapy. Effects on general well-being, emotional and relational functioning are also investigated as are facilitating therapeutic actions.
