Routledge Silent Past and Invisible Present - Psychotherapy Memory Trauma

This comprehensive exploration by Paul Renn integrates cutting-edge research from cognitive and developmental psychology, attachment theory, trauma studies, and neuroscience with over two decades of forensic and private practice experience. The book presents an integrated empirical and hermeneutic model of clinical practice, examining how silent, invisible processes rooted in the past shape current patterns of experiencing and relating. Drawing on contemporary neuroscience understanding of memory dynamics and the interaction between implicit and explicit memory systems, Renn demonstrates practical applications for therapeutic work. The text is part of the Relational Perspectives Book Series, published by Routledge, and offers clinicians, therapists, and psychology students actionable insights into how past trauma and memory influence present behaviour and relational patterns.
