Harvey L. Schwartz is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist and consultant with more than 25 years experience treating complex trauma survivors and training psychotherapists in relational approaches to the treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders, and is the author of Dialogues with Forgotten Voices: Relational perspectives on child abuse trauma and treatment of dissociative disorders.
'Schwartz expands the interdisciplinary dialogue between the psychoanalytic and trauma/ dissociation communities that treat people subject to traumatic attachment, mind control, thought reform, coerced perpetration and, complicity in all of these. The author synthesizes the overlapping clinical traditions of trauma/ dissociation theory, contemporary/ relational psychoanalysis, archetypal models (Jungian and Buddhist/ transpersonal psychology), cult/ ritual abuse/mind control treatment, and child soldier demobilization with specific therapeutic actions... This book is a welcome addition to the literature and is meant to be read pensively, pondered and thoughtfully considered.'- Barney Greenspan, PhD, ABPP, Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, February 2015'The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep provides breakthrough persepctives to allow previously unknown points of access to better understand and treat some of the most intractable conditions of the human spirit...If clinicians are able to comprehend and work with the populations that are mentioned throughout this book, then working with other types of traumatized individuals should be a piece of cake. For this reason alone The Alchemy of Wolves and Sheep is worth its weight in gold.' - Robert Grant, The Therapist, November 2014'This outstanding scholarly work explores aspects of humanity which are often deemed unthinkable. It gives new meaning to ‘holding the space’ for healing in profoundly difficult contexts and speaks of transformation. It will resonate with anyone who is concerned about atrocities against children, especially clinicians who work with child and adult survivors of complex trauma and mind control.' - Sue Richardson, UKCP registered Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
