By considering what people find at the limits and boundaries of human experiencing, Boaz describes the ways in which they can disillusion and re-illusion themselves, and how this becomes incorporated into their modes of existing in the world and in relation to others. In incorporating the experience of trauma into the way people live  all the existential horror, terror and liberation contained within it  Boaz invites them to embrace an expansive ethic of (re)(dis)covery.

It sees trauma as something that is unusual that happens to other people. These approaches neglect the apparently simple question, ‘What is it that is traumatised?’. In this groundbreaking book Marc Boaz radically reframes this question philosophically. He makes a compelling case for the need to understand interpersonal trauma existentially, and in terms of the paradoxes and dilemmas of our embodied and relational world. The appropriateness of this approach will be brought home to everyone interested in the area by the way he relates his philosophical insights to therapeutic practice.'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMartin Adams, Existential therapist and author of An Existential Approach to Human Development\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘This is essential reading for all those wanting to learn more about interpersonal trauma and its theoretical underpinnings.
