In 'Trauma and the Soul', Donald Kalsched continues the exploration he began in his first book 'The Inner World of Trauma', this time going further into the mystical or spiritual moments that often come to the fore in psychoanalytic work. Through extended clinical vignettes, including therapeutic dialogue and dreams, he shows how the inter-subjective relational field can open both analytic partners to 'another world' of non-ordinary reality in which daimonic powers reside, both light and dark.
