‘One of the most ingenious and exciting books to come out of the burgeoning literature on childhood trauma. Psychiatrist Felicity de Zulueta lives up to her reputation for diving into the research literature and showing us what should have been obvious but somehow wasn’t. The TAIP technique she has developed not only explains how adults can remain trapped in traumatic attachment dynamics from infancy, but also how therapists can help release them from these unconsciously ongoing, debilitating bonds with their parents. This theoretical voyage left me wondering why our culture finds it so difficult to take seriously the terror and trust that babies carry in their psyche.’ -- Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, developmental psychologist, and Honorary Fellow, University of Dundee, UK ‘If you are a therapist and you sincerely want your patients to heal from traumatic attachments, then read this book. Dr de Zulueta offers you a thorough understanding of the problems that exist and how to dissolve the internal splits that are making your patients’ lives a misery and interfering with their discovery of wholeness within.’ -- Sandra L. Bloom, Associate Professor, Health Management and Policy, Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA ‘Healing The Fractured Mind successfully enters the landscape of works on trauma. Felicity de Zulueta presents, thanks to an adept and competent combination of scientific research and extensive clinical experience, one of the most innovative procedures for exploring and treating childhood trauma-related disorders, the Traumatic Attachment Induction Procedure (TAIP). Readers will thus have the opportunity to discover the potential of this procedure, which makes this book a must-read for all those engaged in the research and treatment of developmental trauma as well as those who suffer from addictions and other difficult to treat disorders.’ -- Giuseppe Craparo, psychologist, psychoanalyst, and Full Professor of Clinical Psychology, the Kore University of Enna, Italy
