While Stolorow’s intersubjectivity theory has been used successfully in the treatment of PTSD by Russell Carr and others, it is not the only approach to treating trauma and it may not be suitable for everyone.
The treatment of trauma can be complex and there are many different approaches that can be effective. Some of these approaches are more focused on the individual's internal experiences and emotions, while others are more focused on the interpersonal relationships and social context.
Intersubjectivity theory emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the interactions between the therapist and client in the treatment of trauma. The therapist seeks to create a safe and supportive environment where the client can explore and process their traumatic experiences within the context of the therapeutic relationship.
While this approach can be effective for some clients, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some clients may benefit from other approaches that are more focused on specific trauma symptoms, such as exposure therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
In summary, while Stolorow’s intersubjectivity theory has been used successfully in the treatment of PTSD, it is not the only approach to treating trauma and the choice of approach will depend on the individual needs and circumstances of the client.
