Trauma, miedo y amor: Hacia una autonomía interior con la ayuda de las constelaciones

Rate this book
This is the fourth book by Professor Franz Ruppert translated into English from the German original. In it Ruppert continues his exploration of the impact of trauma on human beings that has been the topic of his previous books. This book looks at the structure and functioning of the psyche, and how traumas influence psychological functioning. He takes a holistic stance, understanding the psyche as part of the psychosomatic system and shows how the separation of mind and body is impossible, illogical, and unhelpful. Traumas are always psychosomatic events, whether seemingly a physical trauma or a psychological trauma. Using many case examples, Ruppert explores the underlying issue of relational trauma, the perpetrator/victim dynamics at play. His exploration and developed theories of perpetrator and victim look deeply into the nature, origins and rationale of perpetration as, in itself, a result of traumatisation. It is not helpful to think of perpetrators as just 'evil'; we have to understand how the person becomes a perpetrator, the context of the perpetrator, sometimes over several generations. This is an exciting book. Ruppert has the ability to reach beyond the conventional boundaries of psychotherapeutic thinking, questioning some of our basic assumptions and building on our accumulated knowledge. He brings a sharp, scientific eye to the complex world of consciousness and the psyche, the results of which can only enhance our understanding.

Definitivamente no es el mejor libro de trauma. Hay aspectos donde en ratos da unos puntos muy bien concretos y fundamentados con otros libros, cómo el trauma de sociedad. Pero si son profesionales de la salud NO LEAN EL LIBRO, hay muchísimos libros y mejores. Eso sin mencionar que te introduce neuropsicología pero después, ya no te habla de la neuropsicología. Además su método no está probado y se basa en la pseudociencia. Este libro tampoco sirve para gente que quiera entender el trauma, de esos hay mucho mejores que este.

En resumen: no importa desde donde lo leas, hay mejores que este libro.

Es muy buen libro, me gusta la forma en la que Franz enseña las constelaciones como una forma de auto conocerse y como muchas de las personas que nos rodean tienen un impacto en otras relaciones, de lo cual no muchas veces somos conscientes.
Al final del libro se trata en su mayoría casos, lo que puede sentirse un poco aburrido.

Approachable view of ourselves

An interesting view on how traumas and fears relate to our behavior without losing a scientific approach. A coherent view on what we should focus on developing as human beings.

Clearly explained and detailed with no wasted words. Very rich while still being accessible. May be read by both clinicians and lay people. I would give it six stars if I could.

I feel profoundly grateful to have come across Franz Ruppert's work. His concept of symbiotic trauma has enriched my understanding of myself, my patients, of history and of the world around me. Every great thinker who inspires us to find the courage to face and be fully present (emotionally, somatically and cognitively) to trauma and fear is giving something to the world that deeply matters - the ability to care and love ourselves and others.

This book, following in the footsteps of his previous one (Symbiosis and Autonomy), holds out the possibility of a brighter future, one where there is more support for mothers, fathers and their infant children, and less likelihood of the transmission of inter-generational wounds and perpetrator/victim splits.

After immersion in his work, the reader will likely want to create their own constellations, with the goal of letting go of what does not belong to them and of achieving the intentions which were previously thwarted by attempts to avoid inner pain.
