Loss of the assumptive world : a theory of traumatic loss
To help patients who are struggling to understand traumatic loss, Kauffman and others present essays on the assumptive world -- that which we assume to be normal or predictable, and how its loss can lead to the loss of protective beliefs. The authors look at the traumatic event, its aftermath, and how reconstruction of protective belief occurs. They use different theories such as narrative theory, Kohutian self-psychology, betrayal theory, and coping theory
