This book claims to make psychodynamic theory simple. Through a discussion of creative interventions, including art therapy and storytelling, it engages the reader in the often unbearable journeys of looked-after children, and the pressures that working with heightened levels of raw emotion unleashes on the adults around them. We are bustled between scientific and theoretical explanations for complex trauma, violence in children, neurobiology and attachment, through graphic case studies that illustrate the powerful impact of these therapies, to rather more esoteric explorations of the traumatised child, interwoven with invitations to consider these stories in the light of great writers, or writings, such as Robert Graves, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
