When the Body Keeps the Score: Some Implications of Trauma Theory and Practice for Psychoanalytic Work

Vivian Dent, Ph.D., began practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the dark ages when self psychology, relational approaches, and object relations theory first mounted their challenge to American ego psychology. About 15 years later, she began to study trauma and trauma therapies, eventually becoming an EMDR Approved Consultant while completing extensive training in Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. She has taught at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and Access Institute, among other programs. She has a private practice in San Francisco and Oakland.
