Reviews and Endorsements

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 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.

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.

Healing the Fractured Mind by Felicity de Zulueta is a profound and illuminating exploration of the intricate relationship between trauma, attachment, and psychopathology. The book stands as a vital contribution to the field of trauma studies, offering not only a deep theoretical understanding but also practical therapeutic tools for addressing the complex needs of individuals who have experienced severe early trauma. Through her compassionate approach, de Zulueta bridges the gap between scientific research and clinical practice, providing mental health professionals with a comprehensive framework for understanding and treating complex PTSD and related disorders. [...] In full, Felicity de Zulueta’s work reminds us of the essential human need for secure attachment and the devastating consequences when that need is unmet. Yet, it also offers hope, demonstrating that even the most fractured minds can heal with the right understanding and support. Healing the Fractured Mind is not only an essential read for mental health and care professionals but also a beacon of understanding for anyone affected by trauma.

What I find most persuasive is the TAIP’s resonance with so many other concepts and approaches, from psychodrama to Jungian complex theory. For the clients included here, the TAIP clearly had a deep somatic and imaginal pull
