Injured Men Trauma, Healing, and the Masculine Self

Injured Men is a unique casebook of clinical material pertaining to men who have sustained trauma. Richly illustrated with both brief and extensively detailed analytic case reports, Injured Men describes the manifestations of such phenomena as physical and sexual abuse, unresolved grief, genocidal persecution, intergenerational transmission of trauma, and of course, combat. With his perspective on dissociation and dissociative disorders, Brenner also presents a traumatic pathway to the development of a masculine self in those with female bodies.

Ira Brenner, M.D., is clinical professor of psychiatry at Jefferson Medical College and a training and supervising analyst at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia, where he is the director of the Adult Psychotherapy Training Program.
