Bessel Van Der Kolk & Frank W. Putnam – Bessel Van Der Kolk Trauma Interview Series: Frank Putnam, Md, Pioneer & Researcher In Attachment & Trauma
Recently I was fortunate to engage in a personal interview with my colleague and pioneering researcher, Frank Putnam, MD, who is without question one of the world’s foremost scientists in the field of trauma, dissociation and attachment.
His remarkable research reveals findings that are of significant relevance to trauma treatment today. And in this video interview, you’ll hear first-hand about his dutiful and passionate studies on sexual abuse, transgenerational trauma, and dissociation and multiple personality disorders (DID).
As Frank describes the arc of his discoveries from one intervention project to the next, and our conversation moves from one question to another, you’ll gain an understanding of the impact of trauma on the mind and brain that will immediately inform your trauma treatment.
I invite you to delve into this journey with me to learn of this man’s important work, impact and contributions to the field.
