Someone with PTSD who fails to benefit from therapy cannot be "treatment-resistant". Doesn't even make sense, since it's not treatment. This language signals delusion. They are lost in a fog of psychobabble and wishful thinking. Even referring to people with trauma or psycho-social problems as "patients" distorts reality.
These guys want so badly to be a legit branch of healthcare. It's not possible. There is just no way to make an artificial psuedo-relationship into an evidence-based intervention. Too many confounding variables in a human life. It's not replicable. Stop pretending.
And as usual no mention of the risk of harm. They seem only concerned with whether their interventions might be "ineffective". Does it even occur to them that a person with developmental trauma might suffer serious damage from a poorly controlled, engineered relationship with a stranger?
"The first opportunity some complex trauma patients will have for a stable and non-abusive relationship will be with the therapist."
We've all read about abusive and unstable therapy relationships on this forum. Apparently the authors haven't read such accounts. Nor have most therapists it seems. Many appear to live a fantasy world.
