The James Nayler Foundation
dedicated to understanding and treating Personality Disorders
Welcome to the charity which takes it for granted that Personality Disorders and Conduct Disorders relate to earlier traumatic experiences.
The model is simple -- children growing up require a sound parental attachment. Where this attachment is robust, damage from childhood trauma is ephemeral -- where it is not, then the long term effects of trauma closely resemble those of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
In effect, the individual becomes 'frozen' at an infantile stage - whence the continuation into adult life of survival strategies painfully and deeply learnt in infancy. Adult reasoning is needed to ensure contact with today's reality. Once adult survival strategies are in place, and being fully relied upon, then all symptoms of disorderly socialisation evaporate. - - - -
