The Tavistock Trauma Service works in a trauma-informed manner using a phase-based approach of stabilisation and safety, trauma processing, and reintegration and reconnection. All of this is held within a psychoanalytic frame. The lecture will offer an understanding of the different kinds of complex trauma presentations seen in the Tavistock Trauma Service and will use amalgamated clinical examples to illustrate the adaptations to the psychoanalytic stance that may be required.
