This thesis is based on the existing knowledge of the impact of trauma on humans at both psychological and physiological level and the possibilities of psychotherapeutic work as its treatment. The theoretical section provides an overview of key definitions and distinguishes the concepts of C-PTSD, DTD and attachment trauma. It discusses the effects of early trauma on the development of brain structures and systems and touches on the neurobiology of attachment. In the last chapter, it offers a brief comparison of treatment methods with an emphasis on trauma-focused psychotherapeutic approaches, particularly the PBSP system. The empirical section presents a research design, built on the referred theoretical findings, in order to examine changes in activation of brain regions in persons with attachment trauma in response to a stimulus associated with the traumatic event, before and after receiving a PBSP intervention....
