I am honoured to have contributed, together with some of the most renowned trauma and dissociation experts in Italy, to the creation of this book on dissociation. My chapter – dissociation and sexuality – focuses on a topic rarely discussed, both in the psychotraumatology world and in sexology: the psychological, relational and sexual implications of childhood sexual traumas in adults. How body and mind can react to such traumas? And how can clinicians treat trauma-related difficulties? I tried to sum it up in 12 pages and, considering the amount of information I could have easily given, it hasn’t been easy!
If you would like to read more about it, the book is called “La dissociazione nella costruzione della realtà” (so far, unfortunately, it’s available only in Italian), Rezzonico G. and Furlani A.P., by FrancoAngeli Publisher.
