The Seba library treats Steele in 8 passages, across 4 authors (including Romanyshyn, Robert D., Ogden, Pat, Siegel, Daniel J.).
I have taken some time with Steele's article in order to give a context for his own indirect questioning of himself at the close of his article. He wonders if his readers might be 'startled by these revelations'

Steele uses the term 'resistance' to characterize six potential obstacles to engaging in the kind of critical reading he has proposed. Of the six that he discusses, four are cultural-historical resistances that a critical hermeneutic reader can, more or less, become conscious of

, The Wounded Researcher: Research with Soul in Mind, 2007thesis
the same point applies to Steele's critical h[ermeneutics]
Romanyshyn extends to Steele the argument that any critical interpreter, Jungian or otherwise, may be as blind to their own complex as the subject they are reading.

Ogden cites Steele, van der Hart, and Nijenhuis as the primary theoretical authority for phase 3 trauma treatment, focused on developmental deficits and relational capacity beyond symptom reduction.
