Abstract
This opus magnum comprises three weighty volumes in which Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis comprehensively presents his experiences, insights and ideas on dealing with trauma and dissociation. These have grown out of many years of practical and scientific work. The choice of the title Trinity of Trauma –with its allusion to the Christian religious trinity– may alienate some, but it points to one of the most challenging parts of dealing and coping with traumatic experiences: the paradox of separated and dissociated agents in the unity of an embodied person. Additionally the three basic action tendencies of “ignorance”, “fragility” and “control” that Nijenhuis describes actually seem to be something like a universal dynamic pattern of interaction when people are forced to deal with difficult-to-process experiences.
