Abstract

As a child psychotherapist, Music brings his understanding of the impact of trauma on the body and mind to describe how adaptations to psychoanalytic ways of working may be required. He draws on the work of Stephen Porges to emphasize the need to understand what is happening at a physiological level in the body when under threat. Using the concept of the window of tolerance, Music gives several clinical examples in his work with children, adolescents and adults to describe how bodily countertransference experiences are an important tool in this work.
