The Lifespan Integration book describes in detail the method which Peggy Pace developed for working with adults who experienced abuse or neglect when they were children. In this book Peggy Pace describes various ways in which her Lifespan Integration method can be used to integrate dissociated ego states and feeling states, and to treat a variety of disorders. These disorders include anxiety and panic disorder, self-harming behaviors such as cutting, eating disorders including anorexia, and dissociative identity disorder. Case examples and transcripts of actual Lifespan Integration sessions demonstrate how the Lifespan Integration protocol can be varied depending on the presenting problem.
The Lifespan Integration book includes a summary of the most recent research in the area of neural development. In the neuroscience chapters Peggy Pace summarizes what is known about how separated selves and self states become integrated within the developing child. Pace proposes in her book that neural integration continues throughout the lifespan, and can be expedited during therapy when the conditions required for neural integration are re-created within the therapeutic setting. Pace cites recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience to support her hypothesis about how and why her Lifespan Integration technique is so effective in the psychological healing of adult survivors of childhood trauma.
It is still possible to buy the book directly from Peggy Pace's web site in the US (www.lifespanintegration.com). This may sometimes work out slightly cheaper, depending on exchange rates, but in some cases we have found there is a delay in receiving the book from the US because of a hold-up at customs.
