How does the abuser-victim dynamic govern our lives, and how can we break out of it?
Despite a history of psychological trauma, we can learn to love ourselves and meet other people with empathy. Encouraging examples show how it is possible to break out of the abuser-victim dynamic and achieve the most trauma-free society possible.
Examples from therapy
Franz Ruppert is a renowned trauma specialist who has published a number of psychotherapeutic publications. In this book, he concentrates on an aspect that is often overlooked in the trauma debate: the perpetrator-victim dynamic that leads to a vicious circle of psychological damage.
Parents who were not wanted as children and who were not protected from violence often become abusers of their own children. They unconsciously recreate their own experiences for their children. In this way, entire communities can become trapped in a trauma dynamic and use violence both overtly and covertly.
The book deals with typical examples from therapy and shows how to break out of the negative spiral. If we are honest with ourselves and work with our own victim and abuser role, we can start over.
